Re: Specifying Unique keys

Hi Roy
What you need to do is insert an A-spec line BEFORE 9.00 with the word
UNIQUE in the Functions (Prompting will help)
Then make USHPNO and UUPGNAME keys to this file (or it can be a logical to
this physical)

To the list.



Here's an example of a file DSS created using STRPDM:



0009.00 A R WHE5FR TEXT('UPGRADES')


0011.00 A USHPNO 6 0 TEXT('SHIPMENT')


0012.00 A ULINENUM 4 0 TEXT('SALES ORDER

LINE

NUMBER')

0013.00 A UUPGTYPE 1 TEXT('UPGRADE TYPE+


0014.00 A 1 = BEFORE
PACKING+

0015.00 A 2 = WHILE
PACKING')

0016.00 A UUPGNAME 20 TEXT('UPGRADE NAME')


0017.00 A UUPGSTAT 1 TEXT('UPGRADE STATUS+


0018.00 A A = ACTIVE+


0019.00 A C = COMPLETE')


0020.00 A UUPGDTE 8 0 TEXT

('FOLLOWUP/COMPLETED

DATE')



I want to establish the fields at lines 11 and 16 as unique keys - for

any

recorded inserted in the file these 2 fields must be unique to the file.



Specifically what coding is required to make this happen?
