RE: ALIAS Keyword in Physical File

In addition, I created a LF record format that excluded the DIREMP field.
When I added a record to the file via the LF the DIREMP field in the added
record defaulted to 'AV.AQP'

So DFT works as you need it to.

Which version of dfu are you using?
I tried your file on my system and DBU pre-loads the DIREMP with 'AV.AQP' in
add mode.

Hi Barbara. You answer is good but DFT doesnt set default values. I created
a PF with this keyword but when I inserted 3 records with DFU, It looks
empty in the field with DFT.

R REGEMP
CODEMP 10P ALIAS(CODIGOEMPLEADO)
NOMEMP 20A ALIAS(NOMBREEMPLEADO)
DIREMP 20A ALIAS(DIRECCIONEMPLEADO)
DFT('AV. AQP') K CODEMP

....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....
CODIGOEMPLEADO NOMBREEMPLEADO DIRECCIONEMPLEADO
1 jorge Parse
2 Scott Tigger
3 roxette
3 Dido kisses
******** Fin de datos ********

In DIRECCIONEMPLEADO should be completed with 'AV. AQP'

Thanks!
Jorge

Hi Paul,

I got the issue, Issue is not with ALIAS. It is with the INZ Keyword

which

i am using in PF as shown below

R EF01R
NUMBER 11A ALIAS(PATRONNUMBER) INZ('~')
TITLEA 4A ALIAS(PLAYERTITLE) INZ('~')
FIRSTNAME 25A ALIAS(PLAYERFIRSTNAME) INZ('~')
LASTNAME 25A ALIAS(PLAYERLASTNAME) INZ('~')
K NUMBER

Use the DFT keyword to set a default value in DDS.
