Re: Last RRN

Would something like this work for you?  Where DB1RRN would be the RRN of 
the highest record.  I would prefer to use   C    *END   CHAIN (E)        but 
that is fairly new and you may not have it on your machine.  I 
am unsure about the "BLOCK(*NO)" so I use it, just in case.


FGCKFL1 IF   E     K DISK    INFDS(DB1) BLOCK(*NO) 

 * Get the record Number, to know which record 
 * to update/process: 
D DB1             DS 
D DB1RRN                397    400B 0 

C     *HiVal        Setll     RGCKF1 
C                   READP     RGCKF1            58

                  Can anybody think of an easy way to obtain the highest 
used RRN in
a DB file? Changing the file to REUSEDLT(*NO), writing to it and 
extracting
RRN from INFDS data area and then changing the file back to REUSEDLT(*YES)
looks a bit too tricky for my taste.
