RE: New Opcodes like %EOF -- RPG400-L

%EOF works for all "read" (C,E,P,PE and WRITE) activities.  There are lots
of "built in functions" in 4.3.  Look in the ILE manual "4.1 (Chapter 20)
Built In Functions".  Maybe we could start a club - "Indicators
Anonymous"!!! 

Also you don't have to say =*ON.  Here is a sample from the ILE Manual:

    |

  | |
*...1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...+.. 
  | |
FFilename++IPEASFRlen+LKlen+AIDevice+.Keywords+++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
  | |    * File INFILE has record format INREC

  | |   FINFILE    IF   E             DISK

  | |
CL0N01Factor1+++++++Opcode(E)+Factor2+++++++Result++++++++Len++D+HiLoEq 
  | |    * Read a record

  | |   C                   READ      INREC

  | |    * If end-of-file was reached ...

  | |   C                   IF        %EOF

  | |   C ...

  | |   C                   ENDIF

    |

    |

Also you can specify a file.  Here is another sample from the manual:

 
  | |
*...1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...+.. 
  | |
FFilename++IPEASFRlen+LKlen+AIDevice+.Keywords+++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
  | |    * This program is comparing two files

  | |    *

  | |   FFILE1     IF   E             DISK

  | |   FFILE2     IF   E             DISK

  | |   F

  | |
CL0N01Factor1+++++++Opcode(E)+Factor2+++++++Result++++++++Len++D+HiLoEq
  | |    * Loop until either FILE1 or FILE2 has reached end-of-file

  | |   C                   DOU       %EOF(FILE1) OR %EOF(FILE2)

  | |    * Read a record from each file and compare the records

  | |    *

  | |   C                   READ      REC1

  | |   C                   READ      REC2

    |

  | |   C                   SELECT

    |

  | |   C                   WHEN      %EOF(FILE1) AND %EOF(FILE2)

  | |    * Both files have reached end-of-file

  | |   C                   EXSR      EndCompare

    |

  | |   C                   WHEN      %EOF(FILE1)

  | |    * FILE1 is shorter than FILE2

  | |   C                   EXSR      F1Short

    |

  | |   C                   WHEN      %EOF(FILE2)

  | |    * FILE2 is shorter than FILE1

  | |   C                   EXSR      F2Short

  | |   C                   OTHER

  | |    * Both files still have records to be compared

  | |   C                   EXSR      CompareRecs

  | |   C                   ENDSL

    |

  | |   C                   ENDDO

    |

Subject: New Opcodes like %EOF


Greetings;

Does anyone know what the new OP codes are?  Like in V4R3M0 I know that
you can leave the indicators off of a READ and test for Eof using --> IF 
%EOF = *ON

Is there one for READE?  What about others?

I think that I like the idea of no  indicators in RPG.

thanks for the help
