Re: Flat file & update length

Justin,

That is correct. On the i you shouldn't even have to change the F spec. On the /36 the program blew up if the recl did not match.

Given an S/36 flat file 100 long and an RPG program with F-specs defined for update with O-specs. If the flat file is lengthened to 120, what if anything will happen with existing programs? I believe that since positions 101-120 aren't defined, they'll be untouched. I'm looking for a second opinion. What do you guys think?

TIA
