Dave,

I know that RPG's cycle file open code doesn't re-resolve the name.

So if you had RPG code that
open myfile;
<do something>;
close myfile;
<change the LIBL>
open myfile;

The second opening of myfile would open the same as the first, even if
you'd change the library list so that you're expecting it to be opened from
a different library.

Charles, I think you're thinking of the way RPG caches the resolved system pointer to the program for a call operation.

The OPEN opcode and implicit opens don't do that. The file is resolved in the library list fresh each time.
