The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
As long as your data structure is not qualified - then yes.
If there is a field in the file named FIELDA and there is a FIELDA in you data structure then there is only 1 variable in your RPG program called FIELDA however it is defined.
If you change the value of FIELDA whether by reading a record or setting the value in the logic there can only be one variable called FIELDA and it can only have a single value.

Subject: Question on file reading
In RPGIV - maybe this is true in free format - if a Data Structure is defined with the exact names and sizes of the fields in a file when the file is read is the data structure automatically loaded?
Personally I have never seen this before.
