Along the same lines, is there any reason that limits file processing hasn't been expanded to use externally described file fields?


Do you mean for the record-address file (the one coded with IR)? I don't know why you can't have an externally-described RAF file.

When they first added externally-described support in whatever release of system 38, they must have thought it was only necessary to allow the rafdata file to be externally-described.

But I guess the advantage of having the RAF file externally-described would be that you wouldn't have to hard-code the record length to be double the key length of the rafdata file.
