When I am using READC Operational code for second time to read the changed record for the same record It is reading , but I should not read . Then Physical File I have used in Update mode. Like this:----------- F EMPP001 UF E K DISK C EXFMT EMPCTL C EXSR $UPD C*********** C $UPD BEGSR C READC EMPSFL 92 C DOW *IN92=*OFF C MOVE FLD002 DS1 C KEY1 CHAIN EMPREC 93 C N93 MOVE FLD003 EMPNAM C N93 UPDATE EMPREC C READC EMPSFL 92 C ENDDO C ENDSR Here after Loading records into Subfile Buffer I will display using 2nd line from the above source.

Answer Wiki:
Hi, If you use SFLNXTCHG it means that every record in the subfile is marked as changed, whether you have changed it or not. Therefore your READC will read every record in the subfile. If you don't use SFLNXTCHG then READC will only read the records that you change. Regards, Martin Gilbert. /////////////////////////////////////////////////// Sflnxtchg can work like you probably want it to, setting some records so the next cycle of READC will find them. 1. SFLNXTCHG must have an indicator associated with it. If it doesn't have an indicator all records will be used by readc every cycle. 2. When you readc or chain a sfl record and want a SFL record to be availabe for the next cycle of READC set the indicator so that SFLNXTCHG is in effect and then update the record. Otherwise when you write or update the SFL record make sure you have the indicator set of SFLNXTCHG is not in effect. Phil

I use SFLNXTCHG in data-entry programs. When a record does not pass all edit checks I set on the indicator associated with the SFLNXTCHG keyword as part of the edit-error processing. This ensures that I will read that record and edit it again even if the operator does not correct the error.

Good Luck,
