Re: cannot recompile -- RPG400-L

meaning, delete all related LF's 
and delete the pf, run the pgm again
and get the same error.

funny that on one machine the app.
freezes with the error msg. at the 
bottom while on another system
the field goes blank, no msg appears,
and i remain on the initial scrn.

weird.
