Re: Free form question

Then why does this work:

Setll (VMAPVN) Zaptr;
Reade (VMAPVN) Zaptr;

(Vmapvn) is a field NOT a key list. Am on V5R3.

Good Luck
Bill

using parens on the key tells the compiler that you are using a key list
hence the error. subfiles only have a single key...the RRN. as Sean
illustrated below is the correct way to code the chain for the subfile.

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
