RE: Updating a program described file

Tim, I've got a routine that does what you're looking for. It's been running
for several years with no trouble. The program that parses the record and
places a time stamp at the tail end of the file name being sent to a Unix
box.

Of course, it's written in RPG II format, so some folks might think it's
obsolete. :-))

you have to rename the record format on the F spec. then write/update
using the record format name.

Thanks,

Updating a program described file



I have an FTP script source member that I need to update dynamically.
Basically I am attempting to update a source physical file member from
within RPGLE. I can read the file (qclsrc) member without issue, but
can't
get it to compile with update logic. I've tried a bunch of different
things, too much to put in this text. Here is an example of my code. Does
anyone have an example? Thanks, Tim

FQCLSRC UF F 92 DISK
IQCLSRC AA 01
I 1 92 SrcDta
*
C *entry plist
C parm filename 24
*
C read QCLSRC
*
C eval SrcDta = 'delete ' + filename
C update qclsrc
*
C eval *inlr = *on
*
