Re: Writing a PF/LF inside CL.

Not possible. There is also no direct SQL capability in CL. You need to use something like RUNSQLSTM or STRQMQRY. The former cannot do SELECT statements but can do multiple statements from one source member. The latter is nice because you can run ANY SQL statement with it, and you can use substitution variables. In other words, you can "move the values to the respective fields in the file and then write the file" by using an INSERT statement in the QMQRY with substitution variables for each field - similar functionality to what you describe.
Of course, if the data you are writing to the file comes from another file, SQL can do it directly, either with an INSERT INTO somefile VALUES(SELECT some-fields FROM some-other-file...) in a RUNSQLSTM of QMQRY, or a suitable SELECT in a QMQRY with output to the new file with the *ADD option.

Hi all,



Is it possible to write records into a physical file or Logical file inside a CL program, without using SQL?

As like RPGLE, opening the file, moveing the valuse to the respective fields in the file and then writing the file... is this possible/?



Thanks

Siva.
