RE: Free form question

Ok,

So I was wrong.

looks like
chain idx myfile;
chain (idx) myfile;

are both treated as chains by key field.

Sorry about the mis-information...

No it won't.

RPG always allows access to a file via RRN. Even if it
defined as keyed.

Depending on the F spec, compiler will error out one of those two
chain statements in your example.

I really not sure why compiler need developer to tell him

if the chain

is by key or by RRN. It should be able to know that from

the F spec,

just the fix format.
