RE: Subject: Retrieving Relative Record Number

Use the File Information Data Structure to retrieve that RRN for the file.
We save this into a hidden field to do the same thing you are talking about.
We setll and reade a logical, retrieving the RRN, (which is the PF RRN).  We
then chan to the PF by RRN to update or use a keyed delete.  Our PF is
unkeyed so when defined with a K in the F spec, the key is the RRN.

Subject: Subject: Retrieving Relative Record Number


Does anyone know of a way to get the relative record number of a
physical file, to be stored in a hidden field within a subfile as the
subfile is filled?

I am doing a maintenance program on a file without a key.  The file is
filled daily and after processing the records are deleted and the file
reorged.  The RPG program assumes the record numbers will be the same as
the subfile record number.  If I allow the user to delete single records
this logic doesn't work.  Currently the user can change each record and
also delete all records.  I would like to add an option to allow a
delete of several records.


Thanx in advance!!
