RE: Problem with duplicated file names

David,

1) If the library name is a field in the master PF, then sequence the
records in the master PF.

2) Make the detail PF USROPN and before you open the file, change the
values for EXTFILE keyword.. Then open th detail PF.

3) If the library name from the master PF changes, then clode the detail PF
and return to step 2.

No clutter of numerous renames, subprocedures, etc.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

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.
