RE: beginner's question

That message will be displayed if the file key is "unique", and the record you 
are trying to write already exists in the file.
Just a thought....

Hi,


Without performing a read operation you are trying to update.


First read the required record and then update.


Read can be done either through read opcode or chain opcode.

     hi, all
         I want to add records to and update the same file in one of my RPG
     program. I used as follow in my F specs.


      FTEST28    UF A E           K DISK


     and  I used WRITE to add the records and UPDATE to update the records?


         The compile is passed,  but when I run it, I met the message: '
     Attempt to write a duplicate record to file TEST28 (C G D F).'





         What is the problem? Thanks.
