Hi,

I have a simply RPG with one Input file A, one output file B and they have same fields names KEY, FIELD1, FIELD2

Here is the code:

*LOVAL SETLL A
1 DOWEQ 1
READ A 99
99 LEAVE

WRITE B


ENDDO

Without any MOVE (no rename of file B FIELD1 & FIELD2) it can write to file B

However, for update operation


*LOVAL SETLL A
1 DOWEQ 1
READ A 99
99 LEAVE

(MOVE FIELD1#TMP)

KEY CHAIN B 98
(MOVE #TMP FIELD1)

N98 UPDATE B


ENDDO

Without any MOVE in (...), can reading every records in file A update FIELD1 & FIELD2 in file B of the matching key of file B?
Further, if I add  MOVE FIELD1 #TMP before CHAIN, and N98 MOVE #TMP FIELD1 after CHIAN, can it only update FIELD1 in file B with value of FIELD1 in file A? and FIELD2 is unchanged in file B?


Thanks
