Re: Quick question: File exception on update

Sorry James, that's just how I wrote it....

but the monitor can be used in fixed format too.  Well at least in RPGIV


C             Monitor
C             update     file
c             on-error   1024
c             EndMon

Why does IBM insist on calling something RPG when it is
clearly not? If they had any sense, they'd have called
"RPG-FREE" something else just to avoid RPG's reputation
as an obscure and old-fashioned language.

Thanks, and I don't mean to be snappish, but I was looking
for NATIVE, IDIOMATIC RPG. Preferably using either an
error indicator or an (E) extender.
