Chaining to a subfile with RRN

[gregwga50]

I want to chain to a subfile with the relative record number. But I am getting this compile error:



The expanded help text says that the 2nd parm of the chain has to be a file name. If so, how does the program know which subfile to retrieve the record from. The program has 3 sfiles

note: I can't use READC in this application without a lot of logic change.

I realize that it;is the %found operation that doesn't like the record format name not the chain operation. Guess I should just avoid seeing if the chain was successful

%FOUND requires a file name, not a record format name.

[Scott Klement]

Just pass the file name instead of the record format name and it'll work fine. No need to change the logic.

Or just omit the file name parameter, it is optional. From the RPG manual:

If %FOUND is used without the optional file_name parameter, then it returns the value set for the most
recent relevant operation. When a file_name is specified, then it applies to the most recent relevant
operation on that file.
