Re: declaring a file local to a sub-procedure

Correct.

You can't define primary / secondary files in a procedures f-specs.

They must be "full procedural" ie:

0170.00 PCalcCII b Export
0171.00 D PI 2 0
0171.01 dwItem 7 0
0172.00 dwType 1a
0173.00
0173.01 FIoritemm iF e k disk
0173.02 DGetCustRec DS LikeRec(Ioritem1)
0174.00 DzCnt s 2 0

Subject
declaring a file local to a sub-procedure






I have been attempting to declare a file local to a sub-procedure just to
see how it operates, etc.

However, I am having a problem getting this to compile.  The compiler
keeps throwing errors from:


*RNF2580 30      1 The File Designation entry is not valid for a file
defined
in a subprocedure; the specification is ignored.

to

*RNF0258 30      1 Form-Type entry is not valid for subprocedures, or is
out of
                  sequence.


Here is the two ways I have coded the declaration so if I am doing
something wrong, please feel free to point it out:


METHOD A
0170.00 PCalcCII          b                   Export
0171.00 D                 PI             2  0
0171.01 dwItem                           7  0
0172.00 dwType                           1a
0173.00
0173.01 FIoritemm  ip   e           k disk
0173.02 DGetCustRec       DS                  LikeRec(Ioritem1)
0174.00 DzCnt             s              2  0

METHOD B - which I got from
http://www.mcpressonline.com/programming/rpg/v6r1-rpg-enhancements.html

0170.00 PCalcCII          b                   Export
0170.01 FIoritemm  ip   e           k disk
0171.00 D                 PI             2  0
0171.01 dwItem                           7  0
0172.00 dwType                           1a
0173.00
0173.02 DGetCustRec       DS                  LikeRec(Ioritem1)
0174.00 DzCnt             s              2  0

It does not like the F spec or so it seems......

Suggestions?
