Re: Recompiling an RPG pgm

no records are being WRITTEN to the file.

This has nothing to do with LvlChk(*yes).  When you open a PF for output only, 
by default the system handles the output in Blocks
instead of a record at a time.  While your program is adding records to the 
file in main storage, OS/400 doesn't immediately move
the data to disk until it is ready (either the block is full or the file is 
closed).  The effect is that if you query the file while
it is running, the newly added records probably will not show up.  You can 
force the records to disk with OVRDBF FILE(filename)
FRCRATIO(1).  This will tell the system to force any output to disk 
immediately.  The consequence is that you take a performance
hit.

If any of this is not accurate, someone please correct me.

Hope this helps,
