Re: Function check error" and "Record format level identification error

When a physical file is created it is created with a member and a format.
The format can actually be named anything in the DDS.

For this example I have a customer file name ARCUST with a record format of
ARCUSTR.

Now when you compile (create) this file the system gives your file and
format its own id.


This ID (system generated) is used when programs (PROGRAMA) are compile against this
file.

After a program has been created you lets say add another field to your physical
recreate it or CHGPF the system gives this format a new name.

When you call PROGRAMA now its been compiled with the old record format system ID and now
when the files are opened in the CYCLE (your program) the system checks the current format
name against the format PROGRAMA was compiled with and if they dont match KAPOW!!!!!!
"Record format level identification error" you can use command DSPPGM or the API located on this site to show the system name of the record format that PROGRAMA was compiled from.
You could put all this info together and make a nice tool that checks production for level
check errors.
Anyway ......

hope this helps

Function check is generic......anything that generates a CPF message
Examples would be attempting to divide by *zeros...Character data in a decimal field.
File doesnt exist...etc
