If you want value to be an exception value for the field, you can add it using the EXCEPTIONS clause of either the SIRFIELD RELATE command, if field has been related to another field, or the SIRFIELD FORMAT command otherwise.
If you want value to match an alternate format for the field, you can add a format using the ALTERNATES clause of the SIRFIELD RELATE command or SIRFIELD FORMAT command.
- If you add an exception value or alternate format, you do not need to re-specify the exception values or alternate formats already present for the field.
- If you add an exception value or alternate format using SIRFIELD FORMAT, you do not need to respecify the DATE clause.
However, if you maintain your SIRFIELD commands for a file reorganization, you should update those commands as well, if adding an exception value or alternate format. You can also simply update your set of SIRFIELD commands for the file and re-execute all of them.
The attempted update is from SOUL or IFAM. If it is from the FILE RECORDS UNDER statement or from the IFFILE function, rec will be -1. For SOUL, M204.1096 THERE WERE NO UPDATES FOR BACKOUT TO PROCESS is also issued.
