Re: RNF3316: The item has already been defined on a Definition,Specification; specification is ignored.

@Blake The module attribute is RPGLE and was last compiled on V7R1M0 (so
the same as now). More mystery...

@Bob The file is the inventory master and it doesn't show being changed
for years.

A colleague just informed me that a number of PTFs were applied a couple
weeks ago. Maybe this caused it. Maybe you can no longer define a field
multiple times with *LIKE DEFINE.

Thanks,

Rob

Hello Robert...

What o/s version was it previously compiled under and what RPG version?

Have a good day.

Hi All,

Today I attempted to recompile an existing, unmodified program which
has
not been changed in over a year. It failed to compile with an RNF3316
error on two fields.

The two fields are brought into the program from a file in the f-specs.
Later in the c-specs the fields are once again dined using *LIKE
DEFINE.

We are on V7R1.

Does anyone know if it was it allowed to define a field twice (once in
the
f-specs and later in the c-specs using *LIKE DEFINE) in earlier
versions
of the os?

The issue isn't how to fix it but rather how it ever successfully
compiled.

Thanks,

Rob
