Re: Retrieving member names -- MIDRANGE-L

× 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.

CHKOBJ only checks whether the object (not the member) exists or not. CHKOBJ is
a generic command which can be used to any type of object (*FILE, *PGM ..etc).
But for *FILE object, you can have one or more members. If you want to retreive
the member names, you can do it in a CL using RTVMBRD command. Specify *FIRST
and do RTVMBRD(*NEXT) in a loop. This way, you can get all the member names.

Another approach is to do a DSPFD command with TYPE(*MBRLIST)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE). Direct this to an outfile. Then read the outfile.
