Re: CL DCLF

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

If you read it all the way to EOF and then want to position to the start, I
believe you are trying to do the impossible. If you modify your CL to obtain
the number of records in the file, then read that number of records without
getting an EOF (CPF0864), then you should be able to position back to the
start with your OVRDBF method.
