The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It rather depends on what you what you mean by "process".
If you just want data from two records simultaneously then reading
into a DS (pretty much the same as COBOL's READ ... INTO) would do the
job. Use qualified structures and you don't even have to mess with
renames.
If you mean you need to _lock_ two different records for update then
you either need two files _or_ use commitment control on a single
file. I would use CC personally if it is that important to make sure
that the two records are updated "simultaneously" - having two
separate files etc. won't guarantee that the changes are always in sync.
RPG is no different from COBOL in this regard so I'm not sure what in
your COBOL background makes you think that this is something RPG can't
handle.
