Re: Cobol / CL question

OVRDBF is a solution.

OVRDBF FILE(CBLFILE)
TOFILE(LIBRARY/DISKFILE)

Use the file name that you have in your select statement instead of CBLFILE.
TOFILE is the real file name.

Heh! Gang.

Is there a way to pass a variable in CL to 400 Cobol for a file name that is always different?

I haven't used ovrdbf. Is that a possibility?

Thanks.

Mike
