Just use any old VMS editor on the .FDL file and change the segment length
of the key to what you want.
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=MAPCUR.ANAL MAPCUR.ISM
$EDIT/FDL/NOINTERACTIVE/ANALYSIS=MAPCUR.ANAL MAPCUR.FDL
$CONVERT/STAT/FDL=MAPCUR.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.
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
