Re: VisualAge RPG copymember issue

HI Joep,

With "carriage returns" I was referring to the multiple records in the source physical file that contains the copymember, so no the actual escape sequence for a CR.

As the compile listing shows a funny character at each end of line... something is wrong, however I would like to see how it shows up with someone else.

Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I have no experience with VisualAge RPG, but I do know that members in
source files in general do not contain carriage returns. So it seems to
me that the process that imports the member is doing something wrong.

Hi,


No idea if this question/issue fits in the RPG mailing list but I doubt a VisualAge RPG one still exists.


The issue is that on a project we still use IBM VisualAge RPG but after we moved to a new system the compiles fail on missing fields which is caused by improper importing the copy members. These show up on the compile listing as follows;


34 D/COPY *REMOTE *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP,ALPROGDS 000033

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

* RPG member name . . . . . : ALPROGDS * 2

* External name . . . . . . : *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP(ALPROGDS) * 2

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

35+ * * Program data-structure * D ProgDs SDS D PDCompName *P ?


As you notice the compiler can read the remote copy member but has everything on a single line as it doesn't understand the carriage returns ? So far I have no clue what is causing this, just hoping someone has experienced the same issue many years ago :-)


Manually inserting the copy member in the source itself removes the compile errors which proves that it doesn't import the copy member despite I can see it.


Any tips are welcome.


Thanks,

Paul
