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

Hi Daryl,

To add to Scott's comments, as you are accessing the file in key order,
taking the RRN you have received & navigating to that record using
DSPPFM, does the record so located look like the record accessed in your
program?

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.
