Re: How can I retrieve the RRN of a record in a PF in a RPG3?

Darryl,

FRCRATIO is for writing records, not reading them. I think you're looking for OVRDBF SEQONLY(*YES 1) -- this says that the program reads sequentially only, and the 1 means that the blocking size is 1 record per block.

Some feedback.



1. The test program works normally/correctly when converted to ILE.

2. I need the K in the F spec as I need it to work in an existing
program which is keyed and has to remain.

3. I tried OVRDBF FRCRATIO(*NONE)

4. I also tried FRCRATIO(1)

5. On the first read, it populates a value that may be the total
number of records in the file. It's a moving target, so I cannot establish
the exact number, but it's close.
