1)
overlay : This is keyword which is used for overlays the storage of one subfield with another subfield in a data structure.

Ex:

D Datastructure DS
D Fullname 15a
D Firstname 6a OVERLAY(Fullname)
D Middlename 5a OVERLAY(Fullname:7)
D Lastname 4a OVERLAY(Fullname:12)

Even we can use OVERLAY(Fullname :*NEXT) instead of positions.

2) CALL PGM(program name) PARM(A B C....) in CL

CALL 'Pgmname' Plist /*In RPG

Plist KLIST
PARM A
PARM B
PARM C

3)
RTVDTAARA in CL

RTVDTAARA DTAARA(DA1) RTNVAR(&Var)

We can use IN and OUT operations for reading and writing data area in RPG programs.

Answer / vicky

we can also use overlay on subfile

If my rpg program has a date field, what extra care I have to take while compiling that rpg program? If the file is keyed and I have declared the file as well as key list properly in my program. Still am getting an error message like "chain/reade operation is not allowed" what may be the case?

RPG/400 number of Records present in a physical file using file information data structure FPF001 IP E DISK F KINFDS INFDS1 IINFDS1 DS I *RECORD RECORD Is this coding correct sir,i have given I P E that is I- input,P-primary file,E-externally described. Primary to use RPG logic cycle,is this the correct method because we have to find number of records present using file information data structure in RPG/400 without doing any input/output operations on the file and also without using DSPFD,SQL. If the above coding is correct means,when i compile the program it gets compiled,but if i call the program it does not return anything,i need number of records,please complete the coding sir.
