Re: Re-READ the current record

Yes, that is my second choice. This gets quite ugly also. sigh... I'm just keep thinking, come on now, reading the current record just can't be that hard to do in RPG now. But, unfortunately, I've not come up with any easy solution.

Would it work in your situation to do your read loop over an input only file and then chain with rrn to the physical file when you know you need to update the data?
Then you would not have record lock issues at all.

No, I said readp not readpe. readp is not keyed so it just moves up to the record above the current. The only way you could get EOF on readp is if you were already on the first record of the file. In that case, it wouldn't matter.

yes, that is what I'm afraid of and that is what I come up with. It is quite ugly. It gets even uglier because I'll also have to consider readp(n) could encounter %eof condition. From what I know, when %eof is encountered, the cursor is lost. So, I'll have to position it to the top of the file and do a reade. what in the world...

you will have to do a readp(n) to move the cursor up one, and then reade.

two problems with this:
1) reade is usually performed in a loop and I need the record to know if I need to perform the update.
2) setll/chain won't work if the file that it is looping thru does not have a unique key.

Setll (mykey1) MYFILE;
If %Equal(MYFILE) and needUpdated();
//Read with Lock
reade (mykey1) MYFILE;
Endif;

Is there a way to re-READ the current record (without using CHAIN) that the RPG program has just READ?

For example:

reade(n) (mykey1) MYFILE; //read it with no lock
if not %eof() and needUpdated();
==> Need to re-read with locked how???
endif;
