RE: Rcvf in cl

[Infodorado InfoDorado <infodorado@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey folks, 
What about doing an OVRDBF to share the open data path before opening the file in CL, so an update in the RPG will be regarded as an update in the CL and when it returns to the CL it will grab the next record. 

Is that right?

There are multiple records with the same key so the RPG program processes all of them and marks them all processed ='Y'.  When the RPG exits, it loops back up to the rcvf to get the next processed <> 'Y' record.  However, when it does the rcvf, it is picking up records that were just updated by the RPG so processed = 'Y'.
