Re: This is strange: an RNQ1011 for no apparent reason

From my experiences (many, many moons ago) that is saying that there are

no I specs for record type '03' in your program for that particular record
type when using a old flat file with multiple record formats.

RNQ1011 says the record is found but the program can't tell what kind of
record it is - the record is there, but is undefined.

My experience tells me that these kinds of errors are exactly what they
say they are. If it says "undefined record" then it means "undefined
record." It does not mean "record not found."

As I said, that is my experience.

Then the issue must reside in this one program, not in the data?

No, the problem is that (maybe only if it happens on the very first
CHAIN, in an INZSR), a "not found" result on this particular CHAIN
produces a nonsensical error that had me tearing my hair out.

The problem is that the program was told to look, in its INZSR (the only
place that file for a record that wasn't there. As soon as it was no
longer being told to do that, it worked fine. And so long as the record
is there, it finds the correct one consistently.
