The compilation process needs a file named FILE to do the compile. The
EXTFILE is done at run time. I don't think the quotes around NAME
matter, but making it a literal takes away the advantage of doing the
EXTFILE redirection.

Dear All,

I am trying to make a simple program out of EXTFILE and EXTMBR concept.
However, my system never identifies the file and gives me "The name or
indicator is not defined." Errors. I have setup the library list correctly
which contains the PF.

Program:
FFILE IF E DISK EXTFILE('NAME')
F EXTMBR('NAME')
F USROPN
C OPEN FILE
C READ REC
C FIRSTNAME DSPLY
C CLOSE FILE
C SETON LR

PF: NAME
R REC
FIRSTNAME 10A

Any idea where am I going wrong here ?

Regards and Thanks
Manish
