One solution might be to define a data structure with the same layout as the records in your file . Also create a save data structure and have a prefix for the fields. When you reade the record you want, move the data structure to the save data structure. Then when you chain to the other record you will have the values for both records available --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Date: 02/25/04 15:32:27 To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Chain to same file HI I have a Item master file that is being read as READE for Company #. This READE is the basis of the program. The file structure is such that one company, in this case 550, contains the cost of the item. The report I am doing requires the ext cost. I am processing the records based on a passed company of the user requestor. I am concerned that if I go and get the 550 record on a separate CHAIN am I changing my order of the READE, IOW, when I go back to the READE was there a change there because I went out and chained to another record? Thanks, Rob
