Hi, Jon:
Why is this idea being presented as only an RPG IV enhancement?
I think it would be far better to provide this capability in the "base"
OS, namely, via a mechanism such as the "override" commands, so that you
could do something like this:
OVRDBF FILE(MYFILE) PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM)
This would then tell the system to call the named program for all
file-related activity for this file (open, read, write, close, etc.).
Of course, a suitable parameter list structure would need to be defined
for such an "exit" program, but conceptually this should be able to work
similar to triggers. This would work in a manner similar to RPG's
SPECIAL files, but would work for all opcodes, including EXFMT.
I think this facility should be supported on all of the OVRxxx commands
(OVRDBF, OVRDSPF, OVRPRTF, etc.) -- so that it would be possible to
"redirect" any existing file to another device (or the web).
This kind of approach would enable such an enhancement to work with any
supported language or compiler.
What do you all think?
Thanks,
Mark S. Waterbury
