Hi,
I am trying to obtain the RECFM of a file.
| Code: |
IF SYSDSN("'"FILEIN"'") = 'OK' THEN
DO
DSINFO = LISTDSI(FILEIN)
SAY 'REASON' SYSREASON
IF DSINFO == 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'RECFM' SYSRECFM
END
END |
It throws error code as 16, and the REASON code is 5 which mean file is not cataloged.
But the file does exist. Its Volume serial . . . is : TSO006.
Thanks. |

if you used quotes for SYSDSN, you need them also in LISTDSI. Both functions use the same method to access datasets info.

Hi,
I have a record as below:-
10 ACT-POL-APPL-NAME PIC X(18)
| Code: |
POS2 = POS('PIC',REC.I)
LN1 = WORD(STRING,POS2-2) |
Can I give statement like this to fetch the word ‘10’?
Currently I am not able to fetch the same by giving this statement.
Thanks. |

POS and WORD are two seperate functions whose results should not be mixed up.
POS gives a physical position of the search argument within the string to be searched, whilst word gives a relative word number within the string to be searched. |
