I am currently replacing a value in a segment with a value from the input file. I do a GHU call and retrieve the segment into the io-area. Then modify the field i want to upate in the io-area and then issue the repl call.

I am using procopt=a for the sensegs i am replacing in the psb.

when i xpedite my pgm I can clearly see the repl working and the call returning a status code of spaces. but when i browse my db later it still shows the old value in the field i update.

Can you g ive any clues regarding what i might be missing?

Mfjin,

Make sure that you issued a checkpoint after the repl call.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

I am trying this out. but does a replace always have to be immediately followed by a chkp. can the chkp be issued down the line after doing a couple of checks following the repl calls or does the repl have to be immediately followed by the chkp?

My program does not abend. the repl issues a status code of spaces and the program also returns a zero rc. but my changes are not being reflected in the db. Since there is no abend after the repl calls do u see any other reason for this?

The field that I am modifying happens to be the key field of the segment.
can a field that happens to be the key be modifies using a REPL? It doesnt appear right to me. is there some other way (other than REPL) to do this (like using an ISRT and then a DLET to remove the old one)

[mfjin]

sorry the field is not THE key but it is part of a concatenated key.

I have seen instances where Xpediter does not update the database because a break-point creates a pseudo-abend in the module. Try it without setting a breakpoint between the REPL and the check-point. This may work for you.
