RE: Selecting certain records in a logical file

Hi Paul
I tried that - at least I tried that in the following manner
A S ERRMSG VALUES('This is just an example of w-
A hat I mean')

And I receive the following message

Hi,

you can just use + or - sign to continue to the next line...

A R FILERECR PFILE(PHYSICALF)
A K KEY1
A K KEY2
A S ERRMSG VALUES('This is just an example of
w-
A hat I mean')

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r1

I have not come across this before, and my searches do not come up with a solution, so I am hoping someone knows about this situation, or can point me in the right direction We have a file, that contains multiple records, and on the record is an error message of 50 characters There can be MANY different values in this error message, but in one instance, I only want to process records that have one particular error message How can I create a logical over the physical with a select, using, for example VALUES, if the value needs to be defined over more than 1 record For example
A R FILERECR PFILE(PHYSICALF)
A K KEY1
A K KEY2
A S ERRMSG VALUES('This is just an example of
w
A 'hat
I mean')

Is this even possible to continue into the next line?

As always - any and all responses gratefully accepted Alan Shore E-mail : ASHORE@xxxxxxxx Phone [O] : (631) 200-5019 Phone [C] : (631) 880-8640 'If you're going through hell, keep going.'
