Re: Chaining ussing RRN#

Hi Stiju,
is this the same file you wanted to chain two days ago?
You really should create a logical file with a key of your choice for 
this.

According to the RPG Handbook i use (IBM Press release number SC09-2508-03 
- or whatever that number means) you can set an INFDS for your input file 
with:

-------------------------------------------
FMYFILE IF E DISK INFDS(DBFBK)

DDBFBK DS
D DB_RRN 397 400I 0
-------------------------------------------

You can find your actual RRN at position 397-400 in that DS.
It should be updated after every file operation.

Going to a specific rrn in the file is as easy as: 

256 setll fileformat
read fileformat

or just:
284 chain fileformat

Hope that helped.
