Re: RCVF in CL

Rich:

OVRDBF with a position, and POSDBF only works if you have not yet reached
the *end-of-file* condition.

At V6R1 and above,there is a new CLOSE command in OS/400 that does exactly
what you want, for use with RCVF.

If you need this to work at V5R4 or earlier, create two CL programs, one
for the first pass over the file, then CALL the second program to process
the second pass.

All the best,

I have a program that reads a short source physical file during
processing. Over the course of processing, it may need to go back and
re-read the file again and I've hit a brain cramp on how to get it to
start over without ending the program.

Is there a secret here?
