Thanks for all the help. I renamed the file, CONTACT to CONTINF and compile
went fine!

Just to expand a bit on what Joep says, when you create a file, in your DDS
you nominate a format name.  In the case of CONTACT, the format name has
also been made CONTACT.  This doesn't cause any direct problems.

It does, however, cause a hassle in RPG.  This is that RPG needs to have a
different name between the file and its formats.  To achieve this, as Joep
says, rename the format in the RPG.  By the looks of it you are using
RPG/400  To fix the problem, simply change your code from

1700  FACCTINF IP  E                    DISK
1800  FCONTACT IS  E                    DISK
1900   /COPY IASLNKRSRC,LINKVERSEX

to

1700  FACCTINF IP  E                    DISK
1800  FCONTACT IS  E                    DISK
1801  F            CONTACT                           KRENAMECONTACTR
1900   /COPY IASLNKRSRC,LINKVERSEX

CONTACTR is now the format name used in this program.  If you need to
rename fields or write/update a record, you will need to use CONTACTR, not
CONTACT.

As long as you have the format & file names the same, you will need to do
this sort of thing in every program you write.  To save yourself the
hassle, go back to the DDS for CONTACT and change the line that says

     A          R CONTACT

to

     A          R CONTACTR

or similar and then recompile.

Art,
Apparently the CONTACT file uses CONTACT as record name as well and the
compiler has to be able to keep the two apart.  So either you rename the
actual file, rename the record in the actual file or you rename the record
in the RPG program (in a continuation line for the F-spec in RPG III; with
the RENAME keyword in RPG IV).
