Title: RE: how to test using MIMIX mirrored files

Thanks - but some of the prod files are very large, and a ten minute test would take days to run (not to mention filling up disk space).

Isnt there any way to open an update file in RPG as input only for testing???

Subject: how to test using MIMIX mirrored files


I want to run a test program using output files in my personal library, but
with input from production data.  A convenient place to get production data
is from copies of production files created by Mimix.

Mimix has a lock condition of *EXCLRD for CUSTFILE.  The program I am
testing opens CUSTFILE as update, but I want to OVRDBF FILE(CUSTFILE)
INHWRT(*YES) so that any updates will be ignored.

Unfortunately OS/400 will not allow this override to ignore updates - I
cannot seem to get past the OPEN CUSTFILE in the RPG program.

Is there a way I can use these files when testing my pgm changes???

Thanks!
