RE: Free form question

When your key field is made up of multiple fields, then you can use that in
a ds and chain appropriately. You would use %Kds(key ds name) or
(key1:key2:etc) when using partial keys.

When you only have one field as the key/rec#, then you just use that field
name. That's not a compiler error, it just has to know what it's working
with.

Subject: Free form question

I am writing a free form program that I need to chain through the records
of a sub-file

Dr# = 0;
dou not %found;
Dr# += 1;
chain(n) (Dr#) Filerec;
if %found(File);
do something;
endif;
enddo;


Where Filerec is the sub file record in the display file File, but I am
getting the following compile error

*RNF7702 30 1 A list of key fields is not allowed with program
described
file.

which is throwing me for a loop.
I get the same error with
chain (Dr#) Filerec;

Anyone know what my problem is?

Thanks in advance
