I'm trying to create an FDL for a file that i've just changed the record =
layout in PowerHouse. This file is also read by cobol, and i'd like the =
new FDL to have the same key definition as the old FDL has.
I'm not sure why....know nothing about cobol, and this is beyond my =
scope of understanding FDL's.
This is what i've tried so far
$ANAL/RMS/FDL/OUT=3DMAPCUR.ANAL MAPCUR.ISM
$EDIT/FDL/NOINTERACTIVE/ANALYSIS=3DMAPCUR.ANAL MAPCUR.FDL
$CONVERT/STAT/FDL=3DMAPCUR.FDL MAPCUR.ISM MAPCUR.ISM
The first reference of mapcur.ism is the new file i've created for the =
PH dic, using PHDFM
In the second line i reference the old FDL and compare it with my =
previous analysis
which creates a new FDL. =20
then I try to convert my newfile with this newly created =
fdl......Problem is, since i've changed the size of my key in the new =
file (the one created via PHDFM) to 17 character (which used to be 15), =
when i convert the file, it returns it back to 15....
I'm not sure if anybody can follow what i'm trying to do here, but help =
would be very appreciated.
Thanks
