RE: %kds

["Svir, Stacy A. (CC-IS)" <SASvir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been working with IBM on that issue.  They have a PTF to fix the
chain using a file name.  The problem is that they only fixed part of the
issue. 
The PTF allows Chain (field1:field2) FileName; but does not work with the
%KDS.  The target date for this fix is 2/15.

There is another problem if you try to use an array to store a key.
Example: CatalogArray is an array that stores values used to loop and chain
to get additional information.

For x = 1 to %Elem(CatalogArray);
Chain CatalogArray(x) CatalogFile;
.....

This will always use the value in the first array element. No error - your
program runs but the results are wrong.

This has to be coded:  Chain (CatalogArray(x)) CatalogFile;

IBM is working on that also.

This is a compile and documentation error.  You should be able to use the
file name.  A call has been put into IBM to get it fixed.

Stacy, correct me if I am wrong. . .

 That sems like a silly resctriction.  Why should the format be required
instead of the file name?
