RE: RPG IV and CF-spec "keep it IBM"

I  can not do this because File A may have any logical file which is
declared Unique on some other field. I am thinking some way of Error
trapping using INFDS and some how retrieve the Duplicate Record's RRN and
delete that record and rewrite the old one once again.  Please suggest how
to do this.

When changing the unique key you should perform a "Fld1  SETLL LFName" with
an indicator on EQ  IF the EQ indicator comes on,  "Fld1  DELETE LFName".
Yes keyed deletes are nice because you do not have to read to lock first.
Your file must be update full with add because you will WRITE a new record
after you delete the old one.

Hope this helps

Hi All,

I have a problem in RPG.

In my RPG program I want to update a LF(which is defined as Unique). In
case of duplicate Key record error I have to Delete the record which Is
duplicate and then I have to write the one which I was initially trying to
write.

For Ex.

Data in File A

Fld1   Fld2   Fld3
aa       1          2
bb       2          3
cc       3          4

File is defined as Unique on Fld1. When I do setll on Second record(i.e.
with bb) and try to change bb to cc ad Eval fld2=9
and then update it gives me Duplicate Key error. Thats true it should give
that error.

My Requirement is to delete third record(i.e. with va;ue cc ) and update
2nd record

Please advise me how to do so.
