Re: bif' %addr available in v4r4?

Thank you for the reply.

I ran through debug before but I was only looking at PartNo. I figured out what the
problem is but I don't know how to fix it. I think I caused the problem. I changed the
open statements to point to tmp in the root. When I view the file it's in binary instead
of text. Is it a problem of what the tmp folder's ccsid is?

How could I fix it so I will be able to read text files from tmp?

Thank you,

Gary

I'm in the USA

Hi Gary,

This should work just fine on V4R4... The code was written/tested on
V3R2, and later updated for V4R5, where it was re-tested. (The RPG
compiler didn't change between V4R4 and V4R5 -- so that shouldn't be an
issue.)

Besides which... the error (decimal data) doesn't normally indicate a
missing feature. It indicates bad data in the field.

I've run this program on my machine many times, at various releases, and
haven't had the problem you describe. Obviously, there's a bug
somewhere, but I don't know where...

Can you show me how to reproduce the problem? Or can you debug the
program, and determine where the bad data is coming from?

I have a need to read every file in one folder in the IFS from an RPG program.
I found a great example of how to do that at Scott's web site.

Thank you Scott for sharing the example.

I chose to test out the program CH4Fixed. I am getting a Decimal data error at line
154 in the field PartNo. During a Debug session I see that PartNo was fine with
numbers from 5001 to 5006. PartNo had garbage put into the field at line 153.
callp read(fd: %addr(PartNo): %size(PartNo))

I'm running v4r4. I didn't get any compile errors. Is there something on that line that
won't run in this version of the OS? Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone have
any ideas of why this might not work?

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
