Re: Free form question

Hi Booth
personal preference more than any other reason.
Plus - you cant go wrong with not %found
whereas, if the logic is changed and the Sizeofsubfile does NOT represent
the TRUE Sizeofsubfile etc. etc.

Aside from the issue: a design thought. Why not a for loop? Its
simpler, probably faster, and much clearer to see what is happening.

for Dr# = 1 to SizeOfSubfile
chain(n) DR# Filerec;
... do something;
endfor

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
