Re: Viewing Data from an OPNQRYFL

The result of OPNQRYF is NOT a file. It is an open data path - an access plan. It is all virtual. UPDDTA is working against the original file - it can't work against an ODP.

So to do what you want, follow the other poster's advice and use CPYFRMQRYF - but you don't do an override when using that, generally. Others can speak to this more - the override is only to get the RPG programs to use the ODP created by OPNQRYF.

Anyway, think about moving to embedded SQL - much more power there.

Is there a way to view the contents of a file that is overriden and has records selected via OPNQRYFL during a STRISDB session? If you do F21 during the debugging session and do an UPDDTA command, you get the full file. I'd like to see the contents after the records are selected. Thanks!
