RE: Free format read and write in subprocedure

Alan, yes, I did not think of that, so thanks for your extra e-mail.
I like the idea, so am working on it.
Currently getting RNF7701 "The data structure is not allowed..."
but, being stubborn, not going to SQL just yet.

Guess I wasn't clear.

Write APAM01JC.APAM01JCR dsYourStructure;

The data structure has to be declared as *OUTPUT.

By qualified aren't you saying that you must specify the file name
like APAM01JC.APAM01JCR? The read works because you are specifying the
file name. The write doesn't work because you don't qualify the record
format with the file name or at least that is my theory.

As always my recommendation is stop using file I/O and use SQL.

I am struggling to get a valid write in free fmt in an RPGLE

subprocedure.

The file is declared as externally described:
FAPAM01JC UF A E K DISK USROPN Qualified

A read within the subprocedure works
Read(N) APAM01JC jcds;

However, the record format, in the write in the subprocedure,
Write(E) APAM01JCR jcds;
triggers *RNF7030. (APAM01JCR is the record format for APAM01JC)

So far, the only path seems to be to declare the file as program
described, which maybe allows me to write to the file (need O specs
?), but I suspect I am missing something.
