Re: PF Default values -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

The manual (<
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/rzakb/rzakbmstpdft.htm

) clearly specifies that the value is assigned to the field when you

write to a logical file, based on this physical, that does not contain the
field.

If you want to use the default value in RPG you have to use an externally
described data structure with INZ(*EXTDFT) (<
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/rzasd/sc092508548.htm

).

Finally: Don't use CLEAR on your data structure, because, obviously, it
clears your data structure, wiping out all your default values. Use RESET
instead.

Hi, I use the PF files to create a database.
I need to get a default value; I've tried this:
PF code:
A O6TX01 25A DFT('Default text')

But when I write a register (using a RPG program) nothin appears in
those registers.
I clear and write the registers using a RPG program like this

(fragment):

C CLEARO6REGTMP
C WRITEO6REGTMP
