I'm having a weird (and embarrassing, since it's happening on a customer
box where it worked just fine in a test environment) problem in which I'm
attempting to chain to a record that should be there, yet somehow isn't.

I've got debugging code in the program, that logs the record ID and the
time in which access was attempted, if the RPG CHAIN statement fails. And
the program that writes the record I'm trying to read puts several
timestamps in the record itself. In every case in which I've been able to
find the record myself, the timestamps on the record have been either the
same second as the CHAIN, or a second or two earlier.

I'm thinking about double-checking that I really AM attempting to chain to
the record, but assuming I am, can anybody think of a reason why this
would happen, and yet wouldn't throw exceptions (as I might expect with a
lock collision)?
