Re: Rpg reference example won't compile

David,

It is the reference for 6.1. Are you compiling for 6.1?

Rpg reference example won't compile



Hi, this is from the reference book page 353.

Ffile1 if e disk
Ffile2 o e disk
D ds1 e ds extname(file1) prefix('':2)
D qualified
D ds2 e ds extname(file2) prefix('':2)
D qualified
/free
read file1 ds1; // Read into data structure
eval-corr ds2 = ds1; // Assign fields with same name
write file2 ds2; // Write from data structure
/end-free

I'm getting two errors : RNF5063 on the write, the file mustn't be an
externally described file, RNF7595 position 1 of ds1 doesn't contain a
subfield for the format.

I thought you needed to specify if the ds1 in factor 2 was used for input
or output.

Anyone know what's wrong?
