Re: Relative Record Number processing in RPG-Free

Hi Rich,
 
I had the same problem a few months ago... (we think too logically)
 
Parenthesis are not used if the key is a single field.  That'll do the trick!

Regards,

William

subject: Relative Record Number processing in RPG-Free

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
