RE: Free format read and write in subprocedure

Carel, thank you.

I was also able to get things working following Chris's suggestion
to use separate DS for Read and Write, which I prefer because this
keeps data within the subprocedure.

Gary ,

if you declared the jcds DS in the subprocedure for the READ, then that DS is not available in the subprocedure for the WRITE.

It should be declared as GLOBAL in stead of LOCAL, as you presumably have.

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.
