Good grief, I hate to embarrass myself this way, but I will ask.
Better
to learn, I guess.
I read a record from FILEA. In debug the record's fields are
populated
with data. How do I get the data into RecordDS so I can use it? I
just assumed it would be there automagically, but that was a bad
assumption.
Reason it doesn't work as-is is that any DS defined with LIKEREC is
automatically qualified (as are those defined with LIKEDS) so the
field names don't match. All the fields in the DS are named
RecordDs.fieldName.
Three different options:
1) Change it to an externally described DS and it will happen like
magic.
2) Add *Input to the LIKEREC and use the DS as the target of the I/O
operation
3) Add PREFIX('DS.') to the F spec and the fields will be populated -
but I believe you are restricted to the length of the DS name as the
resulting field name will be restricted to the length of the name on
the I-specs generated.
