Must be me?

I verified that we are using TGTRLS(*CURRENT) and we are running V5R2.

     FFLWORK    IF   E           K DISK
      * Describe FLWORK Record to get Amount Columns in an array

      // if you change the dimension of the array you must:
      // a) Change the ending position of colalpha
      // b) Change the dim() statements
     D FLWORKREC     E DS                  EXTNAME(FLWORK:*input)
     D  colalpha              39   3150a
     D  col                          15p 4 overlay(colalpha) dim(389)
      * FLWORK Key List

C FLWORKey KLIST
C KFLD CO
C KFLD LOC
C KFLD ACT
/free
Chain(e) FLWORKey FLWORK FLWORKREC;
/end-free
results in:
Msg id Sv Number Message text *RNF5155 20 1 The Result-Field operand is not allowed for specified


Code the record name as the second argument of CHAIN instead of the file name. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the data structure specified as the third argument has to be defined with LIKEREC.

Cheers! Hans
