The only issue I have had in accessing files with variable length fields
is making sure the trailing blanks have been trimmed. A 20 byte fixed
length field is 'ABC '. The 20 byte variable length
field is normally 'ABC'.

Subject: Accessing a File with a Variable Key


How does one go about accessing file that one of the key fields is a
variable length field in ILE RPG? I have to add such a file to an
existing program. Only thing I could think of was with Embedded SQL.
Is there any other way or is Embedded SQL the only way?
