RE: LVLCHK(*NO) and record format names

Richard,
        Create both files with the same format name, then when you override
the program with the other you will not get the LVLCHK (unless they are
different format designs).   If you need both files in the same program then
just use RPGIV to rename the record format of one.


Thank you,

Subject: LVLCHK(*NO) and record format names

i've written an RPG program designed to update or the other of two files.

These files look exactly alike, except that they have different file and
record format names.

When updating the second file, I run an OVRDBF FILE(SLSTRN) TOFILE(SLSTRNX)
LVLCHK(*NO).

but when I run the program, I get an error when I write to the file.

Record format SLSTRN not in member SLSTRNX.

I thought LVLCHK(*no) would take care of that and the program would ignore
differences in the record format names...

What are my options?  define both files and change the logic to
write/update one or the other?

thanks

Rick
