RE: When records are counted as in file?

I seem to recall that if a memory page (which I assume is where it's
buffered) was modified, the system seton a 'dirty' flag to force a
refresh next time it was accessed.  I assumed that would preclude having
to do a FEOD.

OK. Gotta do that.

So, you are CHAINing right after you write the record? In that case,
unless you force the write to disk with either a FEOD(filename) opcode
after the write, your program won't see it right away - because the
database buffers the write.

Chain. IOW, lets say, I write a record w/ key A where A ='123'

Then after the Write, I chain w/ '123' again, it should be *%Found,
correct?

You probably just mistyped, but it should be

---- If not %found
not
--- if *not found

But anyway, are you using SETLL or CHAIN to determine if records exists.

If SETLL you should be using %Equal()

If CHAIN, I've made it a practice to use the file name in the %Found().

HI I have an RPG program that is writing records to a file but first

it

checks to see if the key already exists. If it does, then there is no
write. I am finding that the *Not found ind. Is always on when it

should

not be. Therefore am I to assume, that records written during the
program time are not counted as existing in the file?
