RE: Random retrieval of Records from a CL.

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the good old days ...

I used to use CPYF FROMKEY(&keyval) NBRRCDS(1) to copy the single record I
wanted to read, from the Dbase file to a workfile;
Using RCVF to read the single record from the work file achieved my
objective then.
There may be more elegant ways to do it, but I haven't written CL in anger
for a good while.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I know that we can sequentially read a PF from CL program using RCVF. Can I
do a random retrieval from a CL program (something like a Chain in RPG
program)?

Regards,
Venky.
