RE: Record Number

["Martin, Booth" <BoothM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, this worked for me:

     FAPDUE     IF   E             DISK
     FAPDUE1    IF   E           K DISK    INFDS(DB1)              
     F                                     RENAME(RAPDUE:RAPDUE1)  
     FAPDUE2    IF   E           K DISK    INFDS(DB2)              
     F                                     RENAME(RAPDUE:RAPDUE2)  
     FAPDUE3    IF   E           K DISK    INFDS(DB3)              
     F                                     RENAME(RAPDUE:RAPDUE3)  
     D DB1             DS                                          
     D  DB1RRN               397    400B 0                         
     D DB2             DS                                          
     D  DB2RRN               397    400B 0                         
     D DB3             DS                                          
     D  DB3RRN               397    400B 0

Then, on the subfile I put DB_RRN into a hidden field and could show file 1,
2, or 3 in the subfile, depending on which file the user requested, and then
when a user selected a subfile item I could READS and chain to the unindexed
physical file with RRN for updates.

Subject: Record Number


I am searching through a file for some strings, and I need to find out
what the record numbers are.  I am opening the file Input, Full Procedural,
externally described, and as I understand it, this uses sequential
processing,
that is, record numbers.

Once I find my string, how do I find out what record number I am actually
on?  Until I find out I am going to just increment a counter and hope it's
right, but as we all know, deleted records mess this up.

Thanks.

Regards,

Jim Langston
