Re: Operation Extender N is not allowed if the file is not a disk

Thanks Krish.

Yea, I'd like to do that too. My fear is I won't (can't) find them all easily. I can't simply search on chain(n) with good results. Maybe I could do a compile to qtemp to catch bad source and go from there.

I'd *really* like to 'fix' the programmers who did it. :-) In a nice way, of course.

I was thinking about the possibility of lowering the severity of the error (RNF5252). I did a wrkmsgf *all, then 12'd all of them searching for RNF, and I didn't get any hits. Are the RNF errors in some msgf that I can't see? Could I even lower the severity of a single RPGLE compile error?

just thinking...
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,

We had the same issue in V5R3, but we decided to fix the code instead
of finding a work around for this.

Subject: Operation Extender N is not allowed if the file is not a disk

We've had programmers get too aggressive with the no lock extender on
subfiles in the past.  Up until v5r3m0 these progs have always compiled,
but now we seem to be getting an RNF5252 "Operation Extender N is not
allowed if the file is not a disk file."  It is a level 20 error so we
could ignore it and move on, but my question is why start telling me now?

Honestly, I don't know if we've been getting these errors all along or
not.  If we have, they haven't been severity 20 as all our crt commands
specify 10 (which I think is the default).

I know the best thing to do is remove the unneeded (n), but other than
than any quick workarounds?

tia,
Bruce in AR
