RE: Minor issue with subst

Doug - whether the field is on the physical file - or - a field defined
within the program itself, the field STILL needs to be initializes, cleared
etc., otherwise once the field has "X" moved to it, it will ALWAYS remain
"X"

I can do that with no prob, but as I said before to another poster, the
GPRTSM is a PF field and that record is written after the snippet I

posted.

My apologies for not stating that earlier.

It looks like your GPRTSM field is not cleared before each read. Once you

hit a record that has an 'X' and you load the 'X' into GPRTSM then the

'X'

will always stay.

Why don't you just move FLGFLD to GPRTSM every time you get a good read?

Minor issue with subst






One of our customer files has a field for customer flags that has a

length

of 64.  Each position can be turned on with an X in that position.



I am having to modify an old RPG III program that checks this flag
position
and I must doing something wrong because I am getting far more records
than
I should be.



Here is the relevant code and my explanation of what I am doing:



C                     MOVE *BLANKS   FLGFLD  1

C           GCUSNR    CHAINCORCSTEX             37

C           *IN37     IFEQ *OFF

C           1         SUBSTCXFLGS:28 FLGFLD

C           FLGFLD    IFEQ 'X'

C                     MOVE 'X'       GPRTSM

C                     ENDIF

C                     ENDIF



I need to make sure that for each pass through the primary file I am
working
with a blank FLGLD (which is just my own internal variable) and only if
CXFLGS position 28 has an 'X' in it do I want to update my work file,
although I do not have a line that moves *blanks to it if not equal I did
not think that would have been necessary.



Does anyone see any issue with the code as it is written?
