Re: Did any one use varchar field in RLU PRTF?

Simple answer.

The reason it won't compile is because you have ANAME defined as two
different datatypes.  in the table it's varying, but in the printer file
it's fixed.  You cannot have varying variables in a printer file.  I
suggest that you should just rename the fields in the PRTF and move your
TABLE to them before writing.

I tried this, but my RPG Program is not compiling ? It says:

"Varying Length input field is not defined internally as varying length"

My code is as under:-

My Table is:
Create Table Acc(Acode char(21), Aname Varchar(50))

My RPG Code is as under:-
FACC       IF   E             DISK    RENAME(ACC:ACCN)
FRPTRLU    O    E             PRINTER
 /FREE
  READ ACCN;
  DOW NOT %EOF;
  WRITE DET;
  READ ACCN;
  ENDDO;
  *INLR=*ON;
 /END-FREE


My RLU DDS is:

 A          R DET
 A            ACODE         21A  O     1
 A                                      SPACEB(001)
 A            ANAME         50A  O    +1

Do I have to put Varying Keyword in RLU or RPG ?
