CPD5263 Too many record level keywords or help specifications.

[Jerry G]

Has anyone seen this message before? It's new to me, and I can't find anything about it, even searching IBM's website and the entire world (well, Google). ;-)

It went away when I cleaned up other errors, but I'm still curious as to why it appeared and why it's (seemingly) not documented anywhere.

I got it on a (subfile control) record where I'm using a total of nineteen keywords (which doesn't seem a ridiculously large number) and 46 "H" specs.

Re: CPD5263 Too many record level keywords or help specifications.

just a guess...looks like you are missing + sign after first line of RTNCSRLOC ... here is an example Ive used for 600 years

00      A                                      RTNCSRLOC(&#REC &#FLD)        
00      A                                      CSRLOC(C1OUTROW C1OUTCOL)     
00      A            #REC          10A  H                                    
00      A            #FLD          10A  H

Re: CPD5263 Too many record level keywords or help specifications.

Thanks, Jamie. I'm not sure a "+" is required ... but I like the concise format. (I'm not sure I've ever really used the cursor position within field anyway.) ;-)

I don't know ... The CPD5263 error was flagged on the very first line of the record declaration ("R DR01D01C"); it was also the first error flagged in the file. Maybe the compiler just somehow got confused!
