RE: PRTF question

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Counter question... can the RPG cycle be used to write to a database
file?  You should find the answers are the same... 

No.  You must explicitly WRITE the records.  Don't forget the overflow
indicator in the LO position of the WRITE opcode.  I/O errors could
result otherwise.  (Unless you're handling overflow differently).
