Re: Using OPNQRYF issue with a missing key.

It's been a long time - you have a FORMAT parameter that has to match what the RPG is going to work with, right? Is the JOIN LF used in the FORMAT parameter? Is it the only thing in the FILE parameter? Your KEYFLD stuff has to line up somehow, too, can it use MAPFLDs?

I'm done - talking too much through my hat!

Hi Darryl

You have to use SHARE(*YES), so that the called program can use the ODP
- open data path - created by OPNQRYF.

Other than that, I don't know what is happening - seems about time to go
with SQL in the RPG. Or create an SQL index with the same name as whatever
is used in RPG, and maybe it can be an index over a JOIN VIEW and include
the columns you want in it.

Thinking crazy I am!

Cheers

I have an issue where there is a CL program with an OPNQRYF using
SHARE(*YES) on a JOIN LF.


I had to change the program from SHARE(*YES) to SHARE(*NO) only to
find that the keys on the OPNQRYF are different to the keys defined in
the DDS of the JOIN file. The SHARE(*YES) allows this or did allow it
until another modification came through when the RPG program crashed on

loading the RPG.

The keys defined in the join LF are:

* Key 1 (both files)
* Key 2 (second file only)
* Key 3 (both files)


The OPNQRYF keys are as follows:


File1.Key1

File2.Key2

File1.Key3



Can this be achieved in defining the join LF?


TIA
