Re: UC - User Controlled opens

RE:     Re[2]: DSPJOB open files display?


I'd agree with Pete and Eric in your particular case.  However don't stop 
using User Controlled opens completely.   If you have a file that may not
"Logically" be used for the whole duration of the program,  Only open it
once, the first time it's needed.  Like a file that is used only on an 
error condition, or something like that.  We have subfiles that may sort
by 4 or 5 different logicals.  The user may (at anyone sitting) use only 
1 or 2 and may never use the others at all that session.   I open them
the first time the user uses that sort sequence and then leave them open.

Things like that there

Hi and Thanks Pete,
Yes this is what I am doing.
 I have a driving file that has several National Account #'s in it.  I read one 
 of
the National Account #'s then I OPEN the second (UPDATE) file, SETLL on it with 
e
partial key, then READE the records updating all the Equal records, then it 
drops out of the DOW loop and CLOSES the file.  Then it reads the next National 
Accoun #
and drops back into the above routine again.  I thought the UC user area was the
proper way to do the file updates?
