RE: Variable file name in rpg /or cl

We do a similar thing where individual workfiles are created using the
AS/400 job number and the rpg uses the individual workfile instead of the
'main' file it was compiled with.

The workfile name is built in a CL variable, and before calling the rpg the
'main' file is overridden to the workfile name using OVRDBF:

OVRDBF     FILE(SMW26) TOFILE(&LIB/&FILW)

The work files are then deleted at the end of the CL.

Subject: Variable file name in rpg /or cl


I need to have a cl program pass a variable to either a rpg or cl program.

This variable is the file name that the program needs to read from.

Any suggestions on how to do this???


Thanks

Chris
