Hi,
I am getting the error in RPG
(All Record Formats for externally-described file ABCD
ignored or dropped due to error; file ignored.)
Please suggest any

Answer Posted / 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.
