Hi, I am getting the error in RPG (All Record Formats for externally-described file ABCD ignored..

Answer / joy mukherjee

Actually the file ABCD may have the record format name is
same as that of the file name. That is the reason why u r
getting this error.
RPGLE wont allow to declare a file with same name as record
format name.
So, to solve the problam u can change the record format
name other than the file name.
OR
U can use the RENAME keyword in the file specification to
change the record format name.

Answer / chandrababu

This Error code is RNF2109 and severity 40.

This Error occurs commonly If The FILE NAME and RECORD FORMAT NAME and FIELD NAMES are same.

If we declare flat file in RPGLE programs for which of these are same then this will be thrown.
