The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
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)
Don't use FRCRATIO(1). That forces the program to wait until the data is
actually written to the disk.
Use OVRDBF SEQONLY(*NO) or block(*no) on the F-spec if you're in RPG
IV. If you're using RPG III and don't want to use OVRDBF, you can code the
file as update/add and have some dummy operations to keep the compiler
happy. Any of these methods will eliminate program buffering so that the
data is immediately available, but still allow the operating system to
write it to the hard drive asynchronously.
