PGM described update file
Hi,
I'm trying to update a program described file.
I have tried setting the F specs up to allow processing by key by placing the following information in the noted locations:
07-14: file name
15: "U"
16: "F"
19: "F"
26-27: File length (32)
30: The length of the key (8)
31: "A"
32: "I"
38: The starting position of the key field (1)
40-43: DISK
66: "A"
71-72:"UC"
I then coded a DS as the key with a field defined as 8 bytes.
When the program runs I open the file and chain using the DS and get CPF5149 which basically informs me that the operation for the file is not valid!
What am I doing wrong?

Answer Wiki:
Is the file definitely indexed?
-----------------------------------
I don't see how you could chain on anything but RRN.
It compiles because it's internally defined and the compiler doesn't look for the file.

BINGO!
No DDS specs for the file so it’s not an indexed file.
It’s simply a flat file used to hold some data, created by the cl before the call to this pgm.
