Re: RNV4287E error ????

Dennis,

First off, VARPG questions are better off being asked in its newsgroup.
You can get at it one of two ways depending on if you have a newsreader or
not.
     http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400/support/
     http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=ibm.software.varpg

In the directory of your project there is a .LST file.  This should be the
compile listing from the compile.  It may give you more information that
you are currently not getting.  You can get at it by using the "Browse
Compile Listing" option under the Project pulldown of the VARPG IDE.  You
may have a field defined in your files that is "reserved word".  VARPG
defines some fields and such that it needs that you can't use in your
files. There is a list of these in the "VARPG RPG Language Reference"
manual.  Without seeing your file definitions it is hard to say.

V4R5M0 - Code/400 & VARPG W/SP2 - W2K

In VARPG when I "Build A New Project", the following error(s) are displayed
& I don't know why?  When I look at the "extended" help for this error
code,
it says "The Field-Name entry (positions 49 - 62) has already been defined
as a file name, record name, or constant name. The Field-Name entry cannot
also be defined as an input field."

The strange thing is the three lines are numbered 00002 which happens to be
a comment record so I am really confused.  What is it pointing to?  The
cursor is positioned at col.49of line 2 when I double click the error.
When
I scroll through the rest of the program, I don't see anything that is out
of line.  Must be someplace but I don't have a clue which line(s) is in
error.

The other thing that I've tried is to comment out the "F" statements that
define the data files that are on the AS/400 (REMOTE).  When I comment them
out, the error does not appear but is back when I activate the data files.

      FWCDATA    UF A E           K DISK    REMOTE
<snip>

Just do not know what the problem is with my file specs.

Thanks - Dennis.
