Sorry for any confusion. I meant that the SrcStmt option is *also* a good option on the h-spec as it helps with finding out which line of your program failed at runtime (as opposed to digging out a compile listing and looking at the source statement numbers). It has little to do with file IO.
In RDP you can "monitor" your fields and (if you don't have the NoDebugIO option set) you can watch each one change individually with each step on a single record read. But you can also easily find out which field in which record is in error through a program dump, and using the NoDebugIO option means you don't have to press the step option 35 times for every record read in the program (assuming 35 fields on a record just as an extreme example).
-Paul.

Karleen has the best option, IMO, because the additional *SrcStmt is very useful for working out which source line a runtime error appears on.
Hi Paul, what do you mean exactly by that?
I've often found the iodebug information useful when a program crashes on i/o. With STRDBG you can use F15 to show the fields and step through them to the one that is causing the problem. Is there an equivalent in RDP?
