RE: File Exception/Error Subroutine - INFSR

Good style, Scott, I'll remember to use that.  Thanks.

I guess the bigger question was whether you can explicitly call the
file's INFSR subroutine and expect the same behavior as if RPG itself
called it.  I.e.:

Key chain      myfile
    if         %error(myfile)
    if         %status(myfile) = RecordLock
    ... <process retry opportunities>
    else
    Exsr       MyFile_INFSR
    endif
    endif

The whole reason for doing this is to be able to continue normal
processing after the record lock has been resolved.  Any other error,
then I want the INFSR to take over and handle the situation as if there
was no %error handling coded after the chain.

Really need to get to v5 to use the MONITOR opcode.  But until then...

TIA, Dan
