Re: READ PREVOIUS in CLP

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Standard IBM CL does not support that.

You could use the C I/O routines (_ROpen, _RReadP, etc.) from within an 
ILE CL (CLLE) *PGM, to accomplish the same functionality.

Or, visit http://www.powercl.com  and download a free trial of "CL for 
Files" (CLF) - a product from Bruce Vining Services.  CLF makes it easy 
to write CL programs that can do all of the kinds of I/O that you would 
normally have to use RPG or COBOL to do.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury
