RE: Moving A Record

Steve,

If the formats use identical field names you can just read one and write the
other. The compiler will generate all the code required to load the memory
location of each field from the input buffer and to the output buffer.

If they have different names throughout then you could declare an externally
described data structure for each and do a single move of one data structure
to the other. If you use this method you need to be absolutely certain that
the 2 record layouts will always remain identical.

Objet: Moving A Record





Hi,

I have an RPG400 program that accesses two files with similar(identical)
record
structures.  I want to copy from one record format directly to the other to
facilitate the use of an audit trail.  Is it possible to do this in one
operation or do I need to move each field individually.
