Re: Cobol / CL question

Thanks Jhn and Beni.
 
Jon.
 
Could you give a quick example of the QCMDEXC or some more detail.  I need to do exactly that, cycle thru a number of files.
 
Much appreciated.

Or for that matter use OPEN/CLOSE within the COBOL program and use OVR 
via QCMDEXC if you need to cycle through a series of files.

OVRDBF is a solution.

OVRDBF FILE(CBLFILE)

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
