The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Check the RPG IV manual:
Externally-described data structure
Specify either the EXT keyword or the EXTNAME keyword as the first keyword.
If you specify the EXT keyword, you can also specify the EXTNAME keyword
as a later keyword.
EXTNAME
In a free-form definition, the external file and external record format
must be specified as character literals or previously-defined named
constants representing a character literals.
So, your code snippet should look a little like;
**Free
Dcl-ds dspgms EXT PSDS
EXTNAME('SYSAPGPF')
PREFIX(Gv);
End-ds;
HTH,
Brian.

Put a ';' after PREFIX(GV). This is the end of the statement.
