Hello all,

I am looking to see if I can replace existing LF's with Index's at i 6.1. I thought that the new RCDFMT keyword would allow that, and it certainly seems to work quite nicely.

I remember there being some PTF's (SI23355 and SI27866) for V5R4 issues where the newly created file had a different Record Format Level Idenfifier (RFLI) and this was caused by files that had Date Fields in them. I am finding that if my TABLE (PF) has a DATE field in it, then I am getting a different RFLI.

To see what was happening I removed the Date Field, and I then get the same RFLI as the original LF had (which is exactly what I am after).

Is this a case of the same issue has raised it's head at 6.1, but for a different reason (because the INDEX now supports the RCDFMT keyword)?, or am I completely missing something, and there is a PTF for this that I need to apply?

Thanks,

Crispin.
