AW: CLP - Open file, read to end, close file, reopen, still at end...

Hi,

AFAIK closing and reopening the same file in the same program/procedure is
an enhancement in release 6.1 and will only work for CLLE
programs/procedures and not for CLP.

Before 6.1. it is possible in CLLEs to declare the same file twice (as
already suggested).
But you need to qualify the file and the fields with the openid. In this way
you need to duplicate your source code.

An other way, that I haven't tried yet is to call your CLLE program
rekursively with an appropriate parameter that shows first or second call.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Shouldn't be this hard...

I am writing a CLP to read a file resulting from a DSPOBD for a data
library.

I want to read the file through once to create all my physicals. (CRTDUPOBJ
- Data(*NO).

When I get to EOF, I want to take whatever steps are necessary to start at
the top of the file to read all the objects that are NOT Physical files, and
create them.

Right now, when I get to the EOF, I am closing (CLOF) the file, and
reopening it... When I do my next read, it says that the file is still at
EOF and I drop out of the program.

What am I missing?

TIA,

Dave
