Quick losing request buffer info

Your alias file needs to be a designer file, not a reference file.

Subject: Quick losing request buffer info


Hi Ya!

Got a problem. Platform OpenVMS 7.10.g1, RMS Indexed sequential files.

The screen looks at details of people (ID) booked for a room then trying to
find out if an ID has more than 1 booking on the file

Screen x

file yyyy primary
acc via room request room using room

file yyyy alias xxxx reference
acc via id using id of yyyy
sel if room of yyyy <> room of xxxx

temp has_more_than_1 char*1

.....
...

procedure postfind
begin
  let has_more_than_1 = "N"
  if id of yyyy > 0
  then begin
    get xxxx via id using id of yyyy optional
    if accessok
    then let has_more_than_1 = "Y"
    end
  end

While the ID is 0, everything is OK, but as soon as the get is executed the
request buffer is lost and more records are retrieved.

Can anybody tell me why.

Thanks
