RE: Query/400 outfile as input into RPG

Actually - SQL/400 is a neat way around this - no DDS - no specs - just
create the Datastructure you want, and perform the selection using the
SQL embedded in the RPG, then put the results into your fields... quite
elegant!

Wayne,

You need to rename the record format on the F-spec.

RENAME(filename:yourrcdfmt)

| I'm trying to use a Query/400 outfile as input into an RPGIV program.
I
| have the file as input and externally defined.
| The error message is RNF2121 saying the record format is already
defined.
| How do I get around this without copying the query outfile to a DDS
file
| and using this newly created file?
| Thanks,
