RE: RPG Blocked Writes

I modified the CL to change the logical (there was only 1) to be Maint(*Dly). Looking at I/O for the job, it was still record by record. This is how I changed the CL:
CHGLF FILE(FILEAL1) MAINT(*DLY)
CALL PGM(PROGRAM)
CHGLF FILE(FILEAL1) MAINT(*IMMED)

For a test I changed the PF as well (although I didn't think I'd need to), but that didn't' make the I/O blocked either.

Thanks for all the help. I've learned a lot through all of this.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Try changing all the Logicals over the physical before the process
begins using CHGLF from MAINT(*IMMED) to MAINT(*DLY). The OS is trying
to maintain the indices. After the process, change it back to
MAINT(*IMMED)

I did some testing, and as it stands, my results show that when the PF

(keyed or not) has a LF, output writes to the PF

are not blocked. If the PF (keyed or not) does not have a logical,

the output writes are blocked.
