RE: Update or delete without prior input operation

Either one would work but the way it's coded the first record with that
key value will be skipped since the READE occurs immediately after the
CHAIN 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Does it matter that it's a chain and not SETLL?

Your reade statement should be

C     DVNDNO        CHAIN     PAYABLES
C                   DOW       NOT %EOF
C     DVNDNO        READE     PAYABLES

etc

I am having a bit of a problem this morning with the following code:

C     DVNDNO        CHAIN     PAYABLES
C                   DOW       NOT %EOF
C                   READE     PAYABLES
C                   IF        DREFNO = PREFNO
C                   DELETE    PAYABLES
C                   UPDATE    PAYABLES
C                   ELSE
C                   READE     PAYABLES
C                   ENDIF
C                   ENDDO

I am chaining to the file with no problem and I need to stay within the
key
(which is why I am using the reade), I am checking for a specific refno
and
if I find it I need to delete it, but the system is complaining that I
have
not performed an input operation....I would have thought the reade
performed
that, what is the proper way to handle this?
