Joan,

If instead of using UPDDTA, you create a DFU program that omits the TKEN
field and run it using CHGDTA, you won't have a problem.

Myself, I use the freeware utility WRKDBF a lot - download it from
www.wrkdbf.com .  I like it a LOT better than DFU.

Subject: Edit IMHIST file

To all -

Whew! Quite a few topics flowing today on the ol' list. At the risk of
overload, I need some help on a totally new topic.

I need to edit some incorrect data in the IMHIST file - it does NOT involve
a key field in the physical file. When I go into DFU, I get that lovely
message "The retrieved record contains invalid data.", and of course I can't
see or change the field I need to fix.

I have neither the time nor the talent to write an edit program from
scratch. Does anyone have one written that they'd be willing to "lend" to
me. We're on Rel 6, but I don't think that the IMHIST file has changed much
over the years... Does anyone have another solution to DFU besides some sort
of RPG-written edit program? Maybe the SQL statements needed?

          Thanks to all -- Joan
