That makes sense. I'll try plan a tomorrow. Thanks. About the OCL... I know I can use CL in OCL, but can I call OCL from RPGIV? _______________________ Booth Martin Booth@MartinVT.com http://www.MartinVT.com _______________________ Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@arbsol.com> Sent by: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com 07/08/2000 10:13 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com cc: Subject: Re: OCL and CL Booth, Coupla choices: a) Define the file in DDS as field1 156 long, field2 5 long, field3 9 long. Then key it by field 2. Assuming you are using the file only by programs with internally defined file descriptions, this will work fine. b) Create the file with CRTPF fixed record of 170 characters. Then create DDS for an LF that uses SUBST to create a keyfield starting in 157 for 5 long. I guess I'd use 'a'. But then, why not use OCL BLDFILE???
