Re: What's wrong with %trimr(dsname.fieldname)?

Simon,

I can't thank you enough. You hit the nail on the head by suggesting I
had the wrong field names from the include file. They were correct when I
was using the 100 format but since I changed to the 200 format for the
API, the field names are QUSOLNU00 and QUSOBJNU00. Ah ha!

Thank you!

Glenn (who is very happy now :D )

Why can't I use a qualified name expression for %trimr?

You can!

How else would you do this?

Use an unqualified structure ... or globally unique names ...

I get RNF7591 An operand of a qualified name expression is not valid.

Here are a few snippets to show what I am doing.

// List objects API.
d/copy qsysinc/qrpglesrc,quslobj

d UsrSpcDat ds likeds(QUSL020002)
d based(UsrSpcDatPtr)

File = %trimr(UsrSpcDat.QUSOLNU) + '/' + %trimr
(UsrSpcDat.QUSOBJNU)

Your basic code construct is acceptable to the compiler as long as
you are on a release that supports QUALIFIED and LIKEDS. I suspect
the error is caused by something else. Take a closer look at the
field names you specify and those actually in the include. The
compiler is generally not wrong.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
