RE: OCL

Yeah, your RPG II program has to define the key length in the
F specs.  It also has to specify the start position in the
record of the key.  It's probably the start postion that's
throwing you for a loop.

Hi again...
Does anyone know OCL?
Do I have to somehow define the length of the key to a logical in the OCL?
I am almost finished with all of these programs, about 4 left.... then back
to the future!
Thanks....Again!

I did a BLDINDEX and created a logical over my physical, keyed by the last
13
bytes of my flat file, positions 52 to 64. (U2 is the logical) My OCL now
looks like this:
 *************** Beginning of data ***************************
 // LOCAL OFFSET-102,DATA-'?WS?'
 // OVRDBF FILE(IC935U) TOFILE(KMHFILES/IC935U)
 // OVRDBF FILE(IC935U2) TOFILE(KMHFILES/IC935U2)
 // OVRDBF FILE(DE400A) TOFILE(KMHFILES/DE400A)
 // OVRDBF FILE(IC052A) TOFILE(KMHFILES/IC052A)
 // OVRDBF FILE(IC040A) TOFILE(KMHFILES/IC040A)
 // LOAD IC935U
 // FILE NAME-IC935U,DISP-SHR,RECORDS-500,EXTEND-10
 // FILE NAME-IC935U2,DISP-SHR,RECORDS-500,EXTEND-10
 // FILE NAME-DE400A,DISP-SHR
 // FILE NAME-IC052A,DISP-SHR
 // FILE NAME-IC040A,DISP-SHR
 // RUN
When I call it... I get an error:

 SYS2206 Options (  23)
 IC935U2. This file accessed with wrong key length.

 Cause . . . . . :   In referencing the file identified in the message, the
