PDL definition for KSAM file

[Karman, Al]

Hey to the list.....

I recently got Powerhouse 8.29D for my MPE/iX 6.0 pp0 machine, and, after
reviewing the 'documentation', have a ?

I'm trying to define a KSAM file, with a keyfile, identified as

VENDKSM   KSAM     38B  FA       10183      50000   1     1776  1 32
VENDKSMK  KSAMK   128W  FB       20962      20962   1    20976  1 32


I then generate some fabulous PDL code like

> CREATE DICTIONARY TESTDIC
0 Errors  0 Warnings.
> 
> ELEMENT VKNAME CHARACTER SIZE 32
> ELEMENT VKNO   NUMERIC   SIZE 6 PICTURE '^^^^^^'
> 
> 
> FILE VENDKSM   ORGANIZATION INDEXED &
>           KEYFILE VENDKSMK
> 
> 
> RECORD VKSM
> ITEM   VKNAME
> ITEM   VKNO
> 
> INDEX VENDKSM UNIQUE
> SEGMENT VKNAME
> SEGMENT VKNO
> LOAD
0 Errors  0 Warnings.

When running QUIZ, I get

                                             INPUT OUTPUT
VKSM                                    TYPE SCALE SCALE  DEC PICTURE
* VKNAME                                CHAR                  X(32)
  VKNO                                  NUM     0     0    0  ^^^^^^

*E* The actual record length doesn't match the length in the dictionary.
(VKSM)

ANY assistance would be most welcome....I'm running out of hair to pull from
my head!
