RE: INFDS Sy 36 PSDStr... Issue

["Jim Langston" <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Workstation ID is %WS% or %WSID% in OCL (I think %WS%).  Whether or
not that helps you is another story.

Okay, you are required, damanded, edicted to write this is S36.  Okay,
but what is to say you can't use modern programming techniques?  The
only restriction I would see is if you are creating an export file, that
is, one you need to send to another computer to import.

Otherwise, what is limiting you to creating only one file and using
record type selection, and not creating 2 separate files and using
matching records?  It would still be S36 code.

Regards,

Jim Langston

Ok, my real problem is this.... I am NOT a 36 pro.... need help!!
As you may remember, I am rewriting old icky stuff , still, into newer old
icky stuff per client requirement, demand, edict, etc. Anyway, what I have
to
do is this:
I am creating transactions in a 64 character flat file. Some of the records
are Batch Hdr records (i.e. Positions 1-4 are 'B', '1234', etc.etc.) and
some
are detail records (i.e. Positions 1-16 are 'A', 'TAG123', 'PART123456',
xxxx
etc etc etc....). I have the last 13 positions of the record to hold
whatever
I wish. I need to be able to retrieve the records later in the program for
'REVIEW'. On one screen, I need to ROLL through the Header records and allow
the user to modify them, on another screen, I need to ROLL through the
Detail
records for the associated Header record to allow modification of them. The
records in the transaction file will be written by different workstations. I
am only supposed to show the records written by the workstation the user is
using. The program must run in 36 mode, and later will be 'converted' (by a
package) to a 400 program.
Soooooo, I am thinking I must use my 13 positions to store Batch (4) Batch
Start RRN (4) Prev Dtl Rcd RRN (4) and a 1? position WSID.
I need to get the RRN of the record - how? the WSID of the record - how?
Any help is most GREATLY appreciated.

Structure for the System 36? In particular, I am looking for the
workstation,
without using CLP program, on the 36.....
Thanks again;
