Re: File level identifier is changed by CRTDUPOBJ

Pete,

I would expect the file level ID to change every time you create the
file. That's working as designed given that part of the file ID is
the date and time.

However, a level check is only thrown when the Record Format ID
changes. According to your post, that has not changed.

Either you're behind on PTFs, or more likely the file being opened
isn't the one you think it is.

This is causing level check errors in our RPG programs, even though the
record format level ID is unchanged. Anybody have any insight on this?

I conducted a little experiment:

Original file (Attribute = PF-DTA)
file: 1100119152826
Record: 4AE630978C180

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*NO) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)
File: 1100121153527
Record: 4AE630978C180

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*YES) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)
File: 1100121153752
Record: 4AE630978C180

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*YES) CST(*YES) TRG(*YES)
File: 1100121153936
Record: 4AE630978C180

That worked so well, I tried it three more times in succession. All used
the original PF as the OBJ to duplicate:

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*NO) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)
File: 1100121154227

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*NO) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)
File: 1100121154435

After CRTDUPOBJ with DATA(*NO) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)
File: 1100121154532
