RE: Problem with duplicated file names

First read of masterfile :
ovrdbf to detailfile in lib1 or addlible lib1 in correct position
Chain to detailfile reads file in lib1

Second read of masterfile
ovrdbf to detailfile in lib2 or addlible lib2 in correct position
Chain to detailfile still reads file in lib1 because still open

I need an ACCPTH for each detailfile.

Bryan, we are on V5R4. As we have manyfiles duplicated in different libraries, I think we should change the whole library list depending on the data in the masterfile. These duplicate files have always been treated in separate isolated environments, ie a CLP runs first and does a CHGLIBL for the product family being treated.

Now we have single master files regrouping information from all these environments.

chain (n) That will provide non-locking. If you are read-only, its not a problem. It just works.

Hi,

A similar problem to the one I had using activation groups but for reasons I won't explain, I can't use ACTGRP or TFRGRPJOB.

do %eof(masterfile)
Read masterfile
CHAIN detail file
Myfield = detail file field

enddo

One masterfile, several detail files in different libraries. Program knows which library. Program is batch.

How do I CHAIN to the right detail file, each time leaving the file open for the next read. Lots of other programs will want to be able to access any information from the detail file in the same way.

Thanks.
