I suppose you can say the file is keyed, and the compiler will reply "Ok, it looks like it has 0 key fields." So when you attempt to use more keys than the file has, it complains.

Subject: Weird compiler behavior

I just noticed something:

If a PF is NOT KEYED (i.e., RRN-only), the RPG Compiler will not complain (or at least it won't refuse to compile your program) if you declare that file as keyed . . .

. . . UNTIL you actually try to CHAIN, SETLL, &c. to a specific RRN.

Found that while fixing somebody else's code.
