Attachment (Use case): Multiple record definitions in FD.
Hi Adrian,
it is true. The FD contains two file descriptions in order to describe a variable length data set. This case has to be handled the same way as 01 level data redefined in the other sections of the data division.
I append a screenshot from the program source.
I apologize for the multiple updates (if that is what you are seeing) but there appears to be an issue with copy/paste not working correctly.
Fault Analyzer does attempt to map file section data items in the same way as working storage however if there is more than one 01 level data item for a given file Fault Analyzer uses a hex format type display. In the example you have provided can you confirm if there is more that one 01 data item for file SLDATEI
