  • Subject: Deleted records
  • From: Roger Boucher <RBoucher@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I wanted to look at deleted records in a save file and I tried to go to the
midrange archives because I remember some posts on this, but something funny
seems to be happening (www.midrange.com) and I can't get in.  I wrote a
quick RPG to read the save file (am I totally on the wrong track here?) and
I get the following message when I run the program.

Message ID . . . . . . . . . :   CPF4187

Message file . . . . . . . . :   QCPFMSG

  Library  . . . . . . . . . :     QSYS

 

Message . . . . :   Record length not valid for save file TEMP in QTEMP.

Cause . . . . . :   The record length specified to open the file is not
valid  
  for an online save file.

Recovery  . . . :   Change the program to open the file specifying either no

  record length or a record length of 528. You may need to delete the
program  
  and create it again to make this change. Try the request again.

Technical description . . . . . . . . :   The records in an online save file

  are always 528 bytes long, and will not be padded or truncated by the

  system. You cannot direct a program that specifies a secondary record
length 
  to use an online save file.


I compiled the RPG over this save file... what can I do to make the program
happy?
How do I change the program to open the file specifying a record length of
528?
Again, am I completely going down the wrong track?

Thanks for any help.
