Re: Look-ahead file and 2 "files" pointing on the same PF

Hi!

I want to thank you for your support. The problem I had in my program was
not directly related to the look-ahead fields. I misused the MR indicator,
so the result was not correct. My look-ahead code was correct.

My boss doesn't allow me to convert legacy code to ILE when I have to add
features to the old S/36 programs we have here. He said that it is more
unsafe to do a new program than modify an old one. I don't agree...

Charles,

I think I misread your post originally.  Do you only use lookahead on the
secondary file which is defined as input only?  If so, then the lookahead
fields should reflect the next record contents.

Are the field names used for the lookahead I-specs unique?  You don't want
those fields to have the same name as the corresponding fields in either

the

primary or secondary file's active record.

Can you post the I specs for the primary and secondary, including the
lookahead definitions?

Doug
