Re: Update A File After A Couple Other Chains

I have some code to update a file. The problem is that I need to collect
additional information before I can update the file. So here is what I do
now. The read is way up in the code.

         iActCd = w2InvstTyp;
         if w2InvstDsc = ' ';
           chain (w2InvstTyp) NCACTCR;
           iActCdDsc = aCodeDesc;
         else;
           iActCdDsc = w2InvstDsc;
         endif;

         monitor;
           update NIMASTR;
           error = *OFF;
         on-error *FILE;                  // Handle uncaught exceptions
           error = *ON;
           w2Error = 'File error code ' + %char(%status());
         endmon;

So, my question is, can you do an update after the chain has been long done?
Or what would be a better way to process this?
