RE: Record Number

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leaving the record address type blank (no "K") guarantees arrival sequence
file access.  In RPG Classic you have to make sure the file is not blocked
for input to get a correct RRN.  I'm pretty sure that this is not true in
RPGIV.

INFDS is real RPG arcana.  It is documented.  I keep a print out from the
manual on my desk along with the print out of edit codes.  A better
organized person than I would have a complete INFDS in his/her standard
program skeleton.
