Re: Records written not seen by called program

Thanks. I considered FEOD, but may not be able to modify the caller so quickly.


Still hoping to confirm the dirty record issue vs unique key.

FRCRATIO(1) is a bad old idea...

Add a FEOD(N) before calling PGMB. That will flush RPG's buffer....

I have a process that has failed a couple of times. PgmA writes a record
and then calls PgmB with they key info. On rare occasions, the chain to
the file from PgmB fails.

The file in question is not unique keyed and I'm wondering if the record
is being buffered and not visible to the called program. I recall reading
something about that a long time ago and that the fix is to have a unique
key (LF?) over the physical file. Is that correct? Is FRCRATIO(1)
essentially the same thing? It's not a high volume process. Maybe 12,000
records on a busy day.

Thoughts?

Thank you.
