Re: Record format problem!

Murali

It is possible for a file to be created with DDS and have a format of the same name as the file name. According to DDS Reference, a warning message is issued, since RPG needs them to be different - it has a RENAME keyword to take care of this. And the default with SQL is to have the names be the same. So it's easy enough to have had what you describe.

I wonder if someone got the warning and got worried. It might be useful to see if any programs use the file and see whether the format was renamed - this program would now fail, I believe. You can run DSPPGMREF LIBRARY/*ALL OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) and SQL against the file name. Then make sure everyone understands these implications.

Good luck

Thanks for the seasonal wishes. Best of the holidays to you, as well.

Hi folks,

I have a PF "MF.ST4" whose record format is RECFMT...
While  I was running a  query
RUNQRY     QRY(YGSC/YZ88) QRYFILE((QS36F/MF.STM4))

OUTTYPE(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QS36F/Z88)

got an error saying that  "Format MF.STM4 not found in
file MF.STM4  in QS36F."
Found that the file MF.STM4 was  last changed
yesterday  by some one.

Changed record format in query YZ88 to RECFMT(orignal
one) and ran it .It ran successfully.

Iam investigating  and I came to knoe that some one
has recreated the file MF.STM4.
But why does the old one have a record format of
MF.STM4 and not RECFMT ?

Happy Holidays!
Murali.
