Hi David

It seems to me like this might be a situation SQL would help with if the
statement was built to reference the fields required - my assumption being
that the monthly statistics are in each file that is restored. Wouldn't this
remove the record format as an issue ?

Of course I'm also assuming that some kind of rewrite is possible and that
it is "cheaper" than handling the error(s) each month.

Regards
Evan Harris

I'm using a program to generate monthly statistiques going back to 2006.
For each month I go back I restore the files I need from a tape.
As each month goes by, I end up with more files that have been modified
since, and so I have to change them. The trouble is, the job takes ages and
so I don't want to kill it if I can help it.

I could check all the files before running my program with DSPPGMREF but I'd
need to write another program to do that.

Come to think of it, has noone ever done such a utility program ? Check that
all files referenced by a program in a given library list have record format
identifiers that match those referenced in the program ?
