Re: Problem with reading a file that does have keys

Counting the last record twice is not the issue. I have a count of 22,000
plus on count4.
Have that other field name, but due to constraints I have to get out of the
setup that gets me to the AS400 to get to my private email. Have just
registered my company email "burrows.thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" which I can see
when looking at the AS400. Long story - firewalls, etc. Everyone has heard
the plot before but the details always change:-)

if cunano = savcunano;
count4 = count4 + 1;
cunano = cunano;
endif;
count1 = count1 + 1;

What does the following return?
Select count(*) from arlcu where cunano = ' 000117'

Do you by chance have the field name for the National Account instead of
Customer Account?

By the way, you will count the last record twice because you increment the
counters after the read without checking %eof.

Here is what I mean from top to bottom on the file.
Using DBU here are the first three variables or columns.
Key 1 is the first column A5 length. Key 2 is the second column A14 length

company Customer National
Account
005 000059 000059
005 000117 000117
005 000125 000117
005 000133 000117
005 000141 000117
005 000158 000117
005 000166 021436
005 000174 074625
005 000182 000182
005 000208 000208
005 000224 000224

Code

setll (cuco: cucuno) arlcu;
dow not %eof(arlcu);
exsr mainloop;
enddo;

begsr mainloop;
read arlcu;
if cunano = ' 000117';
count4 = count4 + 1;
cunano = cunano;
endif;
count1 = count1 + 1;
endsr;

I get 14 for count4. And 36 thousand plus for counter1. Which is the
number of records in ARLCU. Which in real life is a LF, but when I copied
the file into my library ARLCU became a PF.

What am I missing here?
