RE: How do I retrieve the RRN of a PF or LF in a RPG program.

Thanks all so far.

The program is a RPG/400 and I cannot find the maximum length of the data
structure. The positions Paul gave return the value 1077952576.

I should be seeing 94.

Maybe what I want to do is not doable. Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the
program to ILE. So here is my problem. I read file in a loop simply using
READ. The first record is locked to another job. I need to be able to get
the RRN of the locked record so that I can retrieve the job details locking
the record and end the job.

I have monitored for the error indicator and that is working. My problem is
getting the RRN.

Thanks
