Barbara,

Yeah, now that you say that I think it was CALL I was having an issue with
years ago.

I think you're the one that told me why, I just couldn't find the post to
confirm.

Thanks for the correction and refresher.

Charles

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.
