Since I'm using multiple logicals over the same physical in one program, I like reading by format because I can RENAME to something meaningful instead of using the file name. (Too bad the %EOF and %FOUND don't work on the format name...)
Anyway, when I compile my program, it has no problem with the SetLL below but gives "RNF5201: The specified Factor 2 operand is not allowed for READE or READPE operation." on the ReadE. I retyped the line from scratch to rule out any phantom hidden characters.
Value is defined LIKE the key to the file, DIM(48)x is 3,0 and was previously set for the element in the array I wish to access (in a for loop).
Shouldn't this work?I get the same error on another file accessing by a single field, so it's not the arrary that is causing this problem.
midrange.com
FIVLCATI1 IF E DISK RENAME(IVFCATI:ATIVAL)
/Free
SetLL Value(x) ATIVAL;
DoW Not %EOF(IVLCATI1);
ReadE Value(x) ATIVAL;
If Not %EOF(IVLCATI1);
// do stuff
EndIf;
EndDo;
Eval *INLR = *ON;
Return;
/End-Free
Naturally, I thought, "I'll just use the file name instead." Well, I
get the same error that the operand is not allowed.
