Re: Re(2): Re(2): File in CL Program

["Mike Silvers" <msilvers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One issue to look at when dealing with files in CL is the performance.  The performance of the file I/O in RPG is better than the performance of file I/O in CL.  It may be beneficial to use an RPG program to manipulate records instead of CL.

 

Just a thought.........

Hi Mike,

While I don't know of anyway to do the equivalent of a CHAIN in CL either,
you can use the OVRDBF command with the POSITION parameter prior to the
initial RCVF to effectively do a SETLL. It works best with character key
fields -- anything else can get tricky.
