There is nothing different as far as I know. Only thing I can think of is
the key of the file in RPG IV was descending?

Where I work, training is something of a dirty word.

To read multiple records using a partial key in RPG III, I do this:

xxkey chain xxfmt LR
*INLR doweq *OFF


xxkey reade xxfmt LR
enddo


On a project a few years ago, written in RPG IV, that code did not work.

The only way we found to make it work was to do this:

xxkey setll xxfmt
xxkey reade xxfmt
dow not %eof(xxfile)


xxkey reade xxfmt
enddo


Doing a CHAIN to position and read the first record when multiple records
were read just went to end of file, as I recall. Been too long.

Were we doing someting wrong that caused the RPG IV code to fail? This has
really been bugging me for a long time. I couldn't find a reason for the
bizarre behavior in my searching. It >may< have been an error when only one
record with the matching subkey was found. Again, I just don't remember.
