RE: EVAL-CORR


-----Message d'origine-----
[mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Rory Hewitt

As Dennis pointed out, doing a simple EVAL (RecordOut =
RecordIn) will simply copy the bytes, starting at the left-most byte.

However, if you either specifiy LIKEREC(*ALL) for both record
formats or use EXTNAME rather than LIKEREC, then you could
simply use EVAL. So a follow-up question would be why you're
not using either of those methods - what exactly are the
differences between RecordIn and RecordOut? In the vast
majority of cases, they would be the same (for database files)...

Ah! I didn't say that myfile was defined in the subprocedure. I think that prevents me from using EXTNAME as I need to read and write from and to a DS. This is the first time I've tried such a file definition. I'm not still not too sure about the benefits. I just get that secure feeling, that's all :-)
