Re: Chaining ussing RRN#

Stiju, very easy to chain by relative record number, on the FSPEC, specify
the physical file, but do not specify that it's keyed (even if it may be).

Then you chain by RRN.  Do not put parenthesis around the number on the
chain statement.

FFILE1     IF   E             DISK

 /Free
   rrn = 3425;
   Chain rrn FILE1;
   If not %Found(FILE1);
      PREN = *Blanks;
   EndIf;
   *inlr = *On;
   return;
 /End-Free

Also, here's a great site to look for help.  There's PDF manuals and
everything.

Hi Friends,

  How can i chain a record ussing RRN no,
  I want to know how i could retrive RRN no of a pirticular Record,
  I didnt use this metord before,

My problem is
 My ordinary chain fails even though it points to correct record
   (I verified by checking values in debug mode)
   I cant redesign the PF bcoz its created by SQL from some other
application
     I need to carry on with it

   Plse guide me in running by RRN way.
    If any other idea is possible please suggest.
