Re: What bugs you about KLISTs in RPG IV?

I have no problems with KLISTs at this time, but moving them into the 'D'
spec is a good
Idea to keep them in a single place. I currently have two approaches to
doing KLISTs.

1. I define them in the beginning of my C specs for all my files. My KLISTs
name mimic the file name.

ex. ITEMAS file will have a KLIST of KyItemas

if I have to use multiple KLISTs for a file (Partial keys or what not), I
normally will append a 'F' or 'P' for
full or partial.

2. I define the KLISTs in the subroutine that uses the file.

ex.

CSR       GETREC    BEGSRC

C         KyITEMBL  KList
C                   KFld      WWITNB               Item Number
C                   KFld      WWWHID               Warehouse ID
 *
C                   Eval WWITNB = P1ITNB
C                   Eval WWWHID = P1WHID
 *
C         KyITEMBL  Chain     ITEMBL               99


By doing this, I know exactly what the KLIST is and the values.

Debugging is simple. I just check the fields that are for the KLIST and I
know if they are right or not.
