RE: PF members

You are quite right actually.   I am struggling with OCL36 wherein the
*FIRST member has data but the second member is blank and there is a
code that checks for file attribute as 

        IF ?F'A,FILE'?/0 GOTO NORECS 

Where NORECS sends an error message.  When I try DSPPFM *FIRST, it
displays the correct member as well as in any CL.  But when it is OCL, I
am not able to determine why this picks up the 2nd member.  Do you know
what is the problem here and how could I resolve it? (Of course
converting to CL will be ideal but can't have that luxury and there are
hundreds of OCL as above.)

Thanks for all the help,
Sudha

It depends on the IBM command and/or API, seriously.  We ran into this 
problem and decided to avoid using *FIRST in such applications.

I am looking for information on which order members are accessed.  For
instance, I have a PF AFILE with a members AFILE & MEMBR2 and in my
program, I am accessing *first which member should get picked up?  Is it
member creation time and date that will prioritize or will it have
something to do with the name?  On this file I changed the member name
AFILE to MEMBR3 and renamed MEMBR2 to AFILE.  When I do a dsppfm MEMBR3
gets picked up.  Is this because of time and date will the same thing
happen in CL with *FIRST?

Where on IBM site can I get information on this?  I saw file management
and could not find much.

TIA,
Sudha
