Re: ALIAS Keyword in Physical File

Jorge, the problem is you are using DFU on the physical file. The DDS
manual states:

The value specified [for DFT] is assigned to the field in the following
cases:
- When the program does an output operation to a logical file based on
this physical file and the record
format in the logical file does not name this field. <<<<<<<
- When you use the Initialize Physical File Member (INZPFM) command for
a member in this file.
- When you use the Copy File (CPYF) command with FMTOPT(*MAP) specified
and a field in the to-file
is not in the from-file.

You are using DFU on the physical file - so DFT('AV. AQP') is ignored
and blanks are placed in DIREMP. If you used a logical file with DIREMP
omitted from the record format, then DFT('AV. AQP') would be honoured.
Try it for yourself.

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.

In DIRECCIONEMPLEADO should be completed with 'AV. AQP'

Thanks!
