It is exceedingly difficult to teach RPG fundamentals via a mailing
list; I have been chastised enough in the past for trying.  A fair
place to start is the RPG User's guide at the Infocenter at
http://www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter.

The code you posted is alright as far as it goes, but it isn't enough.
Files are defined in RPG on the F-specification.  There isn't quite
enough information here to help you out yet.  Specifically, you need
to understand the distinction between a file name, record format name
and field name.  Is this still the UPS PLD file project?  (You might
consider changing the subject line to reflect that.)  If so, a brief
description of what that PLD file _should_ look like would be helpful.
Does it contain a header, some detail lines and then a trailer?  Or
are all the records identical (detail only?)

A strong bit of advice is to look at the compiler listing, making note
of the file, record format and field names involved with the files
you're working with.

The specific error message would be helpful, along with the line of
code causing it.  What exactly is not defined?  There are 3 different
things which might not be defined...
