Hi Dave

I googled for "cpf0864 reopen" and got this link to a midrange-l article -

http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199903/msg00785.html

Now Simon gives 3 solutions. I like a 4th - use RTVMBRD to get the number of records, then do the read loop that many time - don't go to EOF. Then you can reposition with POSDBF and do it again.

Now of course, there's always doing the thing in RPG with QCMDEXC to do the duping.

Actually, to do what you want, maybe use embedded SQL in RPG and have the first SELECT use a WHERE clause to include only the PFs, run the loop, then have the second SELECT use a WHERE clause that excludes PFs. Run the loop again.

Shouldn't be this hard...

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

I want to read the file through once to create all my physicals. (CRTDUPOBJ
- Data(*NO).

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.

Right now, when I get to the EOF, I am closing (CLOF) the file, and
reopening it... When I do my next read, it says that the file is still at
EOF and I drop out of the program.

What am I missing?

TIA,

Dave
