Disregard, I forgot the quotes around the file name...

Didn't notice as RDi 9.0's outline view works even when the file name
doesn't have the quotes..

Not the first time I've gotten bit by this!

I've got an SQLRPGLE program that I just added an f-spec that uses the
EXTDESC keyword.
FCHK_ITEM IF A E K DISK extdesc(IORITEMM)
F extfile(IORITEMM)
F rename(IORITEM1:CHK_ITEMR)
F prefix('CHK.')

When I compile, I get a
SQL1001 - External file definition for CHK_ITEM not found.

Does the SQL precompiler not support EXTDESC?

As I read this,
http://ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/Archive/i-canuse-rpg-and-sql-together/

The pre-compiler was enhanced at 6.1.

We are running 7.1 TR 6 (or so)

Am I missing a PTF?

Thanks!
