Creating a file named DIBDWF3 with an AS/400 query, to be read in RPG was causing QRG2122.
Looking at a similar program written some time ago by someone else, the query file read by RPG had a different record format name.
Using Google I found two links:
http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/Changing-existing-physical-files-record-format wasn't something I could do in a CL program
The following article leads me to wonder if there isn't a command to change a record format name.
http://www.mcpressonline.com/tips-techniques/sql/techtip-sql-and-i5os-record-format-names.html
The only way I could find to solve this, was to use RNMOBJ to rename the file. Then the record and file name have different names, a similar to the above article. Do you know if there is a simple way to change a record format name?
The compilation error in the RPG program attempting to read the file was:
*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8....+....9....+....0....+....1....+..
H *****
300 FDIBDWF3 IF E DISK 20/04/12
400 * Query file 19/04/12 S
* 2122 300 RECORD NAME DIBDWF3 PREVIOUSLY DEFINED AS FILE NAME.
RECORD FORMAT(S): LIBRARY MY_LIB FILE DIBDWF3.
EXTERNAL FORMAT DIBDWF3 DROPPED DUE TO ERROR OR IGNORE.
Best regards,
Mike
