Hi,

I'm converting some BLDINDEX statements to use logical files..

Some of them use partial fields so I'm having to create logicals with explicitly named fields once I've created the physical file. I.e if I want the 36 converted RPG to work I have to name all the fields in the logical.

 A            C1COMPX            I      SST(C1COMP 1 15)
 A                                      TEXT('1ST 15 BYTES OF COMPANY')
 A                                      COLHDG('1ST 15' 'BYTES OF COMP')
 A            C1COMPX1           I      SST(C1COMP 16 25)
 A                                      TEXT('LAST 25 BYTES OF COMPANY')
 A                                      COLHDG('LAST 25' 'BYTES OF COMP')

Is this the best way to do this or did I miss something in the DDS manual?

I see a trap if/when the physical is changed.

The rpg programs are currently using internal file definitions - my next step is to use the external definitions.

Thanks
