Error updating master file

[Markus Grossrieder]

Hi Jaime,

you need to put a sort (or sorted) command, then add the "at sortkey" option 
to your output,
something like this (air code):

access file-A link to master_file opt
sort on file-A-key
...
output master_file update add at file-A-key
   item field_1 final d_field

 HTH, regards,
Markus

Hi

I need help to update a file. Here is my program

access file-A link to master_file opt

contains some manipulation

output master_file update add
   item field_1 final d_field

When I run the above program, it will bomb saying the record being updated 
has been changed.

The relationship of file-A to master_file is many-to-one. How would I be 
able to update my master_file ?

Thanks in advance,
Jaime
