I think you may need to create a second CL program to do the file2
processing. I think that hitting eof in a rcvf loop in CL cannot be
reset.

Subject: CLOF & POSDBF issue
I have a CL program which does a WRKSPLF to an outfile, then copies the
outfile to a PF.
The CL loops thru each record of the first PF, and copies the splf to a
second PF and reads thru this second splf looking for a string. At EOF
on the second PF, or when the string is found, I want to process the
next record in the first PF.
When I find the string:
if I exit the loop, then attempt to copy the next splf to the second
PF, I get an error message the file is locked, even though I've done a
CLOF on the second PF.
if I continue reading to EOF, I can copy the next splf to the second
PF, but I'm stilled positioned at the EOF. POSDBF is not positioning to
the beginnign of the file.
Is there any way around this situation.
I've searched the archives, found where this has been posted before but
not a solution. I do see reference to Scott having an explanation to
this but I cannot find his explanation.
Thanks
Ron
