You can't reposition an open file, can you? For some reason I was thinking you couldn't. Then again, I rarely do anything than the most basic I/O in CL.

Have you tried using CLOF before going to the Top label?

Subject: RCVF - how to do multiple CHAINS in one CL pgm

I have a CL loop as follows:


Top:
Load keyValue
OVRDBF FILE(TestFile) POSITION(*KEYAE 1 *N &KeyValue)
rcvf
goto Top





The OVRDBF positions the file ONLY the first time thru (apparently it only positions for the NEXT file open).


How can I read the record that I need (using keys) several times in on CL run?


Thanks!
