Creating logical file.

[michal2442]

I'm a little bit confused - how to define record format in logical file ?
how do you define this ?

cause when I use R ABC (PFILE ABC) i get error while CRTLF
and when I use R ABC1 (PFILE ABC) it compiles but I get error while compiling program (record format already defined).

Please help.

It's not clear how we can help without knowing what error you're getting. (I suspect that the record format name can't be used because a definition already exists in the environment, but we can't tell what already exists on your system.)

(record format already defined).

That helps a little. If a record format name is used in another file in the program, you can't use the same name again in a different place in that program. The compiler won't know which record is being referenced.
