RE: EVAL-CORR

No, you do not need a DS to do that. In fact you can uise the famous Cycle
for that.

Read a record
Change a field
Write anew record

This works since the dawn of days, even in RPG III. A simple read-write
programme, like printing a list, so basic.

I think you do not give us the complete picture.

With regards,

Why not simply:

CHAIN MyKey MyFileCLIREFF1 RecordIn;
Field1 = 'something else';
WRITE MyFormat

RecordIn is a qualified DS. I need to change Field1 in RecordIn. Then
write the contents to the file. For that I need a DS defined with LIKEREC(
myrec : *OUTPUT ).

Of course the key of the new record must not create a duplicate.
But then I wonder, why copy a record to the same file with
some value(s), but not the key value(s), changed?

It is the key value that I'm changing.
