Re: user open file with a variable not a constant

This can't be done. But there is a partial way around that I know. If the 
different files that you want to open are similar (same field names, same 
records name), you can issu an OVRDBF to the files that you want yo open before 
doing the OPEN in the RPG program.

a way to user open a file in rpg with the file name not in quotes, but in a
variable? Thanks in advance
