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.
If you try to recompile the program after adding columns, you'll get an intuitive error. The compiler requires the record length on the "f" spec to match the record length on the corresponding "d" spec (extname). Use DSPFD to display the record length of the file, then put that value in the "f" spec.
But my reason for posting the code is so that others might experiment with the interface.

Nathan,
Since you have the program ready, I was curious to what happens if you want the program to write the new field - so you add that but forget to change the record length on the file spec? Do you get any errors, or does the write ignore the added fields or ???? What happens if you set the record length to some large value such as 1000, does that cause any error.
Thanks,
Scott Mildenberger
