I'm having a problem in RPG-Free that I have done numerous time in RPG IV. I am trying to process a non-keyed file by the relative record number but the program will not compile giving me the error that you cannot do key list processing on a program described file (even though the file is defined as an externally described file).

I can jump out of the free-format into the fixed-column format for the CHAIN op code and everything works fine. But when I do the CHAIN (RR#) FILENAME, the free-form program will not compile.

Has anyone else run into this? Can you not process a non-keyed file by relative record number in free-form RPG?

Thanks in advance,
Rich Dotson
