RE: DOUEQ - Loop (RPG III)

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Thanks all.

My requirement was to read both files till both reach their EOF. The 2 files
may differ in the no. of records. Therefore I have succeeded in using

*IN97   DOWEQ *OFF

*IN96  OREQ    *OFF

                |

                |

          ENDDO

The results are as expected.
Regards,

Hrishikesh Kotwal
