RE: Printing a Subfile - Revisited

What he means I think is that you need to use the ACTUAL field name off 
the subfile record that you are using for your RRN so that it's value is 
set to 1, then 2, etc so that the chain works properly.  Using LIKE just 
defines another field that has the same attributes.

RE: Printing a Subfile - Revisited






Hi Al,

Thanks for the info.

I think I already do this as well with my WrkRRN variable.  In my
D-Specs, I have this:

     D Rrn             S              4  0 INZ
     D WrkRrn          S                   Like(Rrn)
     D Rrn_max         S              4  0 INZ

So when I do my code, I use:
                      WrkRrn = 1;
           DoW WrkRrn < Rrn_Max;
            Chain WrkRrn SPODATA;
                                 ...etc...

That does cover off the issue, correct?

Brian.

When you chain through the sub-file, don't you need to use RRN (the
relative record number associated with the subfile)?
As RRN was the last record written, the chain would get the last record
written
Change your logic to the following
NOTE as you create the sub-file, save the RRN to another field (as
suggested previously e.g. RRNMAX)
then
Rrn = 1;
Write heading;
DoW Rrn < Rrnmax;
Chain Rrn MySubFile;
.. process ..
Write Detail;
Chain Rrn MySubFile;
Enddo
