Re: COMPILE ERROR RNF7595

I have no idea what is different. What is means is, don't use an *OUTPUT 
DS for CHAIN. It is clearly documented that you use *INPUT in certain 
cases and *OUTPUT in others. It might be of interest to look somewhere 
around page 440 in the ILE RPG Reference - 6.1 version, I think. That is 
in the File Operations section, and it is interesting that when data 
structures are used for all operations, that no I-specs or O-specs are 
generated. This might be a reason to use DS' for everything. Just a 
thought stemming from a previous thread you had about writing, where 
someone suggested just modifying the columns instead of using a DS.

Maybe Barbara will say something about this, but she doesn't have to, in 
my opinion. It's how it works, I simply think we need to accept what is 
documented.

There is no evident difference when I look at them in debug. And 
EVAL-CORR works fine between them - probably they ARE the same for data 
files. They could be different, I suppose, for display files. Maybe 
there is an internal flag that knows the difference. That's the kind of 
thing I love to know about, but in the end, it doesn't matter, eh?
