Re: When records are counted as in file?

You probably just mistyped, but it should be

---- If not %found
not
--- if *not found

But anyway, are you using SETLL or CHAIN to determine if records exists.

If SETLL you should be using %Equal()

If CHAIN, I've made it a practice to use the file name in the %Found().

HI I have an RPG program that is writing records to a file but first it
checks to see if the key already exists. If it does, then there is no
write. I am finding that the *Not found ind. Is always on when it should
not be. Therefore am I to assume, that records written during the
program time are not counted as existing in the file?
