RE: Viewing the contents of a multi format logical

Assume that the logical is working correctly, they usually do.

One of the fields has no value, you should be able to determine which file
it comes from.  Perform a SQL on that file searching for zero or blanks or
whatever "no value" means for that field.  I think you will find what you
want - or rather, don't want.

Subject: Viewing the contents of a multi format logical



I'm a newbie to RPG/400 and have learned much from this mailing list.

I do have a question to offer up to all the gurus.

I have a multi record format logical file that I am using. (see below)

A          R WUDEPT                    PFILE(WUDPTP)
A          K DEPT
A          R STMASTF                   PFILE(WUSTDP)
A          K SDEPT
A          K STUNO


The issue I'm having is on the first read through the file(s)
one of the fields is coming up with no value, even though it should
contain one.  Every other read is fine.

I would like to be able to see how the logical is retrieving the
information from the joined files.

I can't use CPYF to print because of the multiple formats.

Is there any other way I can dump the contents to see why that
field is that way?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Scott Wolf
