Re: RCVF - how to do multiple CHAINS in one CL pgm

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  The true intent can not be divined from what little is given to 
describe the scenario, but if CL must be used, then what about using 
OPNQRYF to get the desired key values.  Then loop through those selected 
rows with the RCVF, omitting\ignoring any values\rows that do not match 
what is desired within the CL?  That would be just one full-open, and 
the Receive File request would share the ODP of the Open Query File.
