Re: Write a record at a specific RRN

Hi,

I doubt it... not found means you can't update it (because it doesn't exist), and a write will either reuse (the first) deleted record... or create a new record at the end of the file.

Kind regards,
Paul

Perhaps with:


RRN Chain PF

If NOT %found

etc ...

Hi,

Thanks for the tip about INZPFM... this suits my needs (as it allows me to create *DLT records which I need).

Now the question is still... how do I "fill" such a deleted record (either via native IO or even better via SQL) ?

Kind regards,
Paul

Only if the file's been initialized with default records: INZPFM.

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a method to write a record at specific RRN in a
file.

The RRN will not exist yet, so for example I have a file with RRN 1, 2 and
3... and I want to write RRN 10.

Kind regards,
Paul
