Re: %KDS Compile Problem

Interesting outcome.  Does the old rule "Write records, read files" be
relevant here?

Tony,
 
Thanks for pointing that out!  I changed the file name to the record
format name on the SETLL in my test program, and it compiled fine!  I'm
still confused though (and it will bug me until I find the answer), why
will the Filename work on one system, but not another?  Do you know if a
specific PTF addresses this issue?
 
Unfortunately, even though your work-around fixed the problem, I would
rather not modify the code if I don't have to (for maintenance reasons).
 
Thanks for the help!
 
Mike
