Re: RPG Cycle doesnt work, then it does

I've found that a FEOD on an output file can cure some data management
problems. Dozens of users (including me) were writing groups of small
records to a busy file with a million-plus record count and records weren't
appearing in my inquiry until I logged off and on. Commitment control was
on, probably *AFTER images only. Never had the problem again.

Any ideas why the first execution misbehaves but the second works fine?

Is there anything in the joblog?

Are there any overrides or library list changes in effect (or not in
effect), that might be giving the RPG program an empty primary file?

I'm of the same mind as James; I think the input files are empty.

I'd add an INFDS and some DUMP opcodes to see what the program sees at
runtime. In particular, the EOFInd, MsgID, and NUM_RCDS will be
informative.
