Re: chain problem

["Keith Carpenter" <CarpCon@xxxxxxx>]

The CHAIN is probably failing because the write was buffered.

You can either try a FEOD (force end of data) after the WRITE to force the
record to disk or change the file's force-write ratio to something smaller
(like 1).  Either use CHGPF FRCRATIO(1) or OVRDBF  FRCRATIO(1)

> Dear all, I have two jobs using the same physical file, one job is used to
send request (write to the physical file) and the other job is for receiving
data queue and then updating the physical file. when i try to chain a key
list to the file sometimes it updates correctly and sometimes it doesn't
even though the keys are correct. I debugged the sending jobs, hold it after
it's sent and write to the physical file, then I also debug the receiving
job, and the receiving job would chain succesfully and update the physical
file correctly. Could anybody please help me with this problem. Thanks
