Re: Update a particular record in a sequential file

["Booth Martin" <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you already accessed the record in some other way?  For instance, if
you are reading records and loading a subfile, then later picking from the
subfile to process the record.  In that case, for instance, you could store
the RRN of each record in a hidden field in the subfile.  Then later you
would have the RRN  (relative record number) available to you and can chain
with that to the un-k'd file.

Subject: Update a particular record in a sequential file
 
I have this situation where I need to update a particular record in a
file (Arrival sequence with no keys) without reading it fully. That
particular record can be anywhere in the file. Is it possible to do this
through RPGLE without creating any logical file for the file and also
without using SQLRPGLE.
 
Thanks,
Ganesh
