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

How can you not find them all easily?  Did you mean find all members, or 
all occurrences of the chain within a particular member?  My argument is 
that if the compile blows, you sure can find it quick by seeing the 
compiler listing.  And, since you are only going to change a rpg compiler 
message, then that's the time to catch it and change it, eh?

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
