Re: Chalk one up for "The Cycle"

Alan Shore said:

"I came into RPG after MANY years of COBOL programming. I eventually came
across a program that used the cycle.
The file was defined BUT NO READ of the !@#$%^& file.
Talk about exasperation.
No documentation within the program.
And as I was the only person working on the AS/400, there was no-one else
to ask
It took me awhile before I noticed THAT P on the file definition.

Please everyone - please bear in mind, the answers are always easy for the
person who already knows the answer.

I had a similar situation the first time I came across a matching record
program. I had to get out the RPG Manual to see what the 'M' and 'S'
meant.
That was back in the System/38 days.
