Re: Update in procedure not working

This is all within a procedure:

I'm chaining out to a file with a key using a Ds named InDs defined as
*INPUT. Works perfectly, get a hit and I have the record.

I copy InDs to a Ds named OutDs defined as an *OUTPUT, I update the OutDs
with a variety of new values that are needed and then execute the
following statement:

Update RdCobex OutDs;

Executes fine, no errors or anything... but the record is never updated.

Sounds like confusion between global and local variable scope. Put
DUMP(A) in your code immediately before the UPDATE and see if that helps
you. In particular, look to see of there is more than one variable with
the same name as those receiving 'a variety of new values'.
