The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Two externally described files. Both are keyed with two fields. One
file has both fields as packed numeric. The other has signed numeric
and packed numeric.
I thought the compiler would complain about the mismatch. I know it
does if alphanumeric is used for numeric. But, the compiler did not
complain. This applied to RPG III and RPG IV. At least not on the
system I use.
First file is read and the two data fields are in the klist to read
the second file.
My questions:
1) What happens when a setll/reade is performed with this mismatched
field issue? No error is generated. I am wondering if some other
record is returned, or if the mismatched fields are corrected
internally, somehow.
2) Since the files are externally defined, shouldn't the compiler be
able to diagnose the mismatch?
Thanks
