RE: Invalid Factor 1 in Chain

[Greg Thielen <gThielen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter, 

Since there is no K on your F spec, the CHAIN can only be by relative
record number.  Since TODAY is not a numeric field, it is not valid for
the CHAIN operation.  You need to add the K to the record address type
field on the F spec so the compiler will look at the key field(s) of
file TCWORK.
