Chain is the random retrieval of record from the keyfields.

C IF %FOUND(ITEML)
C IDESC DSPLY
C ELSE
C ‘NOT FOUND’ DSPLY
C ENDIF
C EVAL *INLR=*ON

When two key fields are present it is possible to retrieve the records only by the first record
format or both the record formats but no only by the second key fields.

READ OPCODES:
E is an extender in that be used to store the error happened during reading the record. It
supports
%error-
%eof - end of file returns a logical value (1 or 0) .
SELECT AND WHEN OPCODES:

The various opcodes and their built in functions:

Setll:
%found

Chain:

File and record locking

When two users access the file and try to make a update one of the user’s change might get
lost …. That is said to be Phantom update.
1. The usage of chain will lock the record automatically and the update command will unlock
the record automatically.
2. If no update is used then the lock has to be removed explicitly by using unlock <recfmt>.
3. To avoid locking happening use chain(n) where n is the extender of the opcode CHAIN.
The time interval between the users making the update is called the INTERVAL that can be
specified In the file pf level.

ASSIGNMENT 1:
1. Add more than forty records to the PROD_PF physical file.
2. Modify the PROD_PRTF printer file to include a field
PRODCOSTOH R +2 +2REFFLD(ITMCOST) EDTCODE(K)
3. Increase the size of above field by two
4. Add a new record format in the name total
R TOTAL spaceb(1)
1’TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY ON
TOTCOSTOH 53REFFLD(PRODCOST) EDTCDE(k)

5. Include one field by the name TOTCOSTOH . This field should have similar attributes of
PRODCOST field with the additional integer portion increased by four. The value of this field
should be printed at the end of the report under the PRODCOSTOH field . The value of this
field should be the sum of all the values
Formula 1:PRODCOSTOH=PRODCOST*PRODQTYOH/* for every record*/
Formula 2:TOTCOSTOH=TOTCOSTOH+PRODCOSTOH/*Also include the text total cost of
inventory before on the same line before TOTCOSTOH*/
