Re: CLP - Open file, read to end, close file, reopen, still at end...

I am writing a CLP to read a file resulting from a DSPOBD for a data

I want to read the file through once to create all my physicals. (CRTDUPOBJ

When I get to EOF, I want to take whatever steps are necessary to start at
the top of the file to read all the objects that are NOT Physical files, and
create them.

Dave,

Change the program logic to submit/call itself, using a parameter to determine whether it should process physicals or logicals. Change your DspObjD to DspFD with *BasAtr list to obtain the list of files to process. DspFD allows the specification of file sub-type.

First time through, specify *PF as the file attributes to gather info on. Second time through, specify *LF.
