RE: Write a record at a specific RRN -- RPG400-L

Oh right, the ALLOCATE(*YES) SIZE(n) only allocated the disk space needed for n times reclen

I thought it allocated empty n records

Allocate? Thought that was solely to control the size and the "File full"
message; DSPFD shows zero records but an allocated size. INZPFM puts records in the file.

You can "allocate" a file with unique keys because there are no records in it (not even deleted records). You can't INZPFM a file with unique keys.

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
