RE: %EOF with READC

Yes, Jerry, kick yourself. <vbg>
You don't specify the record format name on %EOF, you specify the file name
only. That's one of those RPGIV-sucky design features. 
I would simply leave off the qualifier on %EOF.

Subject: %EOF with READC

I know I'm going to kick myself as soon as I hit the Send icon because 
I'll see the error just a microsecond later.

But I cannot get the %eof() built-in function to work with subfiles. The 
manual says it will (pages 479 and 710), but it doesn't like me. I have 
pasted what I think are the relevant pieces of code. Hopefully someone 
out there has better eyesight than I.


    FIT002FM CF E WORKSTN INFDS(WSDS)
    F SFILE(IT002B:RRN1)

    EXSR #Load; // Load the subfile

    EXFMT IT002BCTL; // Subfile control.

    READC IT002B; // Find the selection, if any.
    IF not %eof(IT002B);
    aaaaaa
    a 011400 Parameter IT002B is not valid for built-in function %EOF.
    %EOF is ignored.

 From the WDS ILE RPG Reference manual (pg 710):

You can specify an indicator in positions 75-76 that will be set on when 
there are no more changed records in the subfile. This information can 
also be obtained from the %EOF built-in function, which returns '1' if 
there are no more changed records in the subfile and '0' otherwise.

Thanks.
