Okay but Too late, Do you know how can we use Chain and Movel in Free RPG

Hi, Check the sample below for chain operation. Here EmployeeID is the key. Employees is the file name. more can be found at bmyeres.net/resource.. I missed the code /FREE EmpNbrErr = *OFF; Chain(ne) EmployeeID Employees; Select; When %Error;[*]INLR = *ON; Return; When %Found; Eval(h) TotalPay = (RegHours * Rate) + (OvtHours * Rate * 1.5); CalcTaxes(EmployeeID:TotalPay); Other; EmpNbrErr = *ON; Endsl; /END-FREE

More help with freeform can be found in sample code at www.code400.com Also try the IBM RPG Manual at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iserie...2924/index.htm They give freeform as well as fixed format commands. Another powerful and sometimes overlooked source : The source editor. Both WSDC and CODE offer one-click conversion from fixed to free-form. A great learning tool!
