Ok,just
So you've got bad data in the file, 'ABC ' instead of
;-)
My recommendation: fix the data and prevent it from being put in
wrong!
before 'ABC '
Still, a quick test doesn't show me what the issue is. 'ABC' is
ordered
(or
If you do a SETLL, with 'ABC', don't you still see both records?
Or are you trying to CHAIN with 'ABC' and the file has 'ABC '
or do a SETLL and a couple
Hm, that would be a problem......
The only thing I could think of, would be to either chain with both
values
of reads.could
BUT, the reality is, 'ABC' and 'ABC ' are different. You
system, you can't consider them the same and expect only one or the
other.
I repeat: fix the data and prevent it from being put in wrong! ;-)
HTH,
Charles

The only issue I have had in accessing files with variable length
fields is making sure the trailing blanks have been trimmed. A 20
byte fixed
length field is 'ABC '. The 20 byte variable length
field is normally 'ABC'.

How does one go about accessing file that one of the key fields is a
confidential and privileged. If you receive this e-mail and you are notvariable length field in ILE RPG? I have to add such a file to an
existing program. Only thing I could think of was with Embedded
SQL. Is there any other way or is Embedded SQL the only way?
