Re: re-reading records in CL (not after EOF!)

I must confess that I've used CL in the past to read through
something like the members in a file to do certain CL things
to them..<g>

And the biggest reason I have for saying you're right is the
job log, like you say. Picking up job log messages is just
lots easier in CL, like on the backups and many other
things.

If you're not using too many fields from the file in your
CL, what about calling an RPG that does a simple SETLL for
you, then a READ or READE through your file, returning the
data at each read while leaving the file open?

One of the recommendations in the RPG Redbook (a million
thanks to those who wrote it!) was precisely to set up calls
for access to data.
