Re: Can you use a numeric variable to qualify the number of keyfields to use when using %KDS

Hi Andy
I THINK (and I'm stressing the word THINK) that what it is telling you that
the file you are chaining to has a key of one field, but you are trying to
use 2
OR
the fields you are using are NOT the same size as the key fields on the
file you are attempting to chain to

I'm trying to do a chain using a %kds qualifying the key fields to use with

a numeric variable but am getting compile errors.

D g_keyfields     s              1  0

g_KeyFields = 2;

chain %kds(ky_fb : g_KeyFields) fhrec;

The compile errors on the chain I'm getting are;

RNF7071 30      1 Number of KFLDs in KLIST is greater than number of key
field in file
RNF7705 30      2 The second parameter for %KDS is not valid.

I'm not seeing anything in the manual that would say I can't use a variable

for the number of keys to use for %KDS. Or is this one of these things that

you just can't use a variable for. I'm at V5R3.

Thanks;

Andy
