Field record relation indicators are used to associate fields within a particular record type when that record type is one of several in an OR relationship. This entry reduces the number of lines that must be written.

The field described on a line is extracted from the record by the RPG/400 program only when the indicator coded in positions 63 and 64 is on or when positions 63 and 64 are blank. When positions 63 and 64 are blank, the field is common to all record types defined by the OR relationship.

Field record relation indicators can be used with control level fields (positions 59 and 60) and matching fields (positions 61 and 62).
