Level Identifier is a value that is generated when you
compile a file.Each file wil have a unique identifier.

Answer / sunaina

I think we can have only one record format in a physical
file file then how the record level identifier can be two
for two members of a physical files. Could you please explain.

Answer / sree

There are3 level identifiers for any PF. They are

1. At File level
2. At Member level
3. At Record level

Say PF1 is having two members MBR1 and MBR2. So, There will
be 5 level identifiers. 1 for PF1, 1 for MBR1, 1 for MBR2
and 1 for RecordFormat(MBR1) and 1 for RecordFormat(MBR2).

When you made changes to RecordFormat of MBR1, then only
Level identifiers of RecordFormat(MBR1) and MBR1 will be
changed.

Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
