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?
When you need extra control over which fields get changed by a READ or
CHAIN, a good way is to use data structures for the I/O operations.
D A_ds e ds extname(A : *input) qualified
D B_ds e ds extname(B : *input) qualified
read A a_ds
chain key B b_ds
eval-corr b_ds = a_ds
update B b_ds
I can't tell whether you are using RPG III or RPG IV, but this requires
using RPG IV. If you have to use RPG III for some reason (???), you will
have to have a TMP for every field, or you will have to use I specs to
rename every field for one of the files, and then add MOVE operations to
get the file A values into the file B fields.
