RE: Difference between CHAINing a file name & CHAINing a record name

Not necessarily...

%found() only takes the file's name

Looks like inprxxl0 is the file name, and the record format name is inprxx5.

So Ewart's code is fine.

Ewart,

You must match what's inside the %found to what you are chaining.
In the second example below, you are not; you are chainging
to inprxx5 and using %found(inprxxl0).

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I have always been chaining a file name (habit since long)

but today I

found that when I chained using the file name the record

was not found

& when used the same key & chained using the record name the record
was found. Why is this so ?? Which is correct ??

I'm sure this might already have been discussed before - if so can
anyone send me the link - Thanks.

Eg of not found:
chain (prbanb:'IN') inprxxl0;
if not %found(inprxxl0);
leavesr;
endif;


Record found:
chain (prbanb:'IN') inprxx5;
if not %found(inprxxl0);
leavesr;
endif;

Thanks & best regards
Ewart
