RE: MODS Likerec

Try creating another subfile and read from one and write to another and then
back to the original with the records inserted on one of the passes.

Hello everyone,



Before posting this question I hesitated a lot, because I know it is
something basic for most of you; unfortunatelly I couldn't find the
answer myself, so please help!



This is the idea: I have a subfile populated by the user. I want to
insert some records between already existed records if some criteria is
met. My idea was to read the entire subfile and to save it to a MODS
defined with LIKEREC(the subfile record name), clear the subfile and
repopulated it one by one record (reading MODS) and inserting, when
needed, the new subfile records.



My problem is I cannot retrieve the MODS. I do an %OCCUR(mods-name) = 1
and a WRITE the subfile record. In this moment, I thought the subfile is
automagically populated because they have the same field names... but
it's not!





Thank you
