Weird. My RDi doesn't do that. What do you mean by "explicitly used"?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Primary files tagged as unused
This has probably always been an issue. It certainly was in 9.6.0.5, but I upgraded RDi to 9.6.0.6, and Primary files are tagged as unused unless they are explicitly used. Both Primary and Secondary files should never be tagged as unused since there is implicit code in the cycle that reads them.
Yes, I know, use **free, no cycle there. Don't use the cycle, and all that jazz. But, we already have hundreds of programs that read through a file and do the same thing to every record. These have been written using the cycle, and I see no reason to rewrite them.
Every one of these programs show that the primary file (which is input
only) is unused, and if I click the button on the outline that hides unreferenced definitions, the primary files are hidden every time.
These files are all defined as Input Primary.
