Re: RRN of an IP record

Eric,

I think you're confusing ILE RPG with RPG/400.  This is a direct 
copy/paste from the ILE RPG programmer's guide:

   The input/output and device-specific feedback of the file information
   data structure are not updated after each read or write (except for
   the RRN and Key information on block reads) for files in which the
   records are blocked and unblocked by the RPG compiler.

Note the part that says "except RRN".   RRN *is* updated on every read.
