chaining with RRN in rpg free

[slabadie]

I'm looking to chain to a file in RPG free-form using a relative-record-number as the key. Can this be done??

You could try this just remove the K from the F spec.

workRRN = 5
Chain (WorkRRN) SomeFile;

You must omit the () when using RRN.

WorkRRN = 5;
Chain WorkRRN SomeFile; // <-- this works.
Chain (WorkRRN) SomeFile; // <-- this does not work
