Hi Bob -

I hate having to code:
  CustNo  Chain CustRec
          If         NOT %Found(CUSTMAST)

...coding the format name on the CHAIN and then the file name on the %FOUND.
What a crazy, crazy design. It should all be file name.
I would go so far as to say that RPG IV should give a warning message
whenever a format name is used anywhere for single-format database files.

I don't think so. Personally I detest using the file name on I/O statements. If I change to different logical file, all I want to have to change is the F-spec.


I only reference the file BIFs immediately after the operation so I don't put in the file name. If I'm going to want the value later on, I eval it into a named indicator.
