Do you mean an internally defined file or are you meaning a file in the
S/36 environment? Two different things.

Please respond to

this is a good idea. I will use this one myself from now on. Would you
happen to know if this would work using system36 files? or only externally
described?

Lots of good suggestions pouring in on this. I go with the OVRDBF. My
only suggestion is why write two programs - an RPG and a CL? Use the
USROPN keyword on your F spec. Use CALL QCMDEXC, (or the alternatives), to
OVRDBF the file from within the RPG program. Then use the OPEN opcode to
open the file. When you are done, use the CLOSE op code. I've really cut
back on CL. In fact if you use the alternatives to QCMDEXC you get the
error return code. Which I think is easier to handle than a MONMSG.
For example, which is more thorough:
MONMSG CPF000 GOTO(ERROR)
GOTO NOERROR:
ERROR: /* Find out which error code we actually got and then process
accordingly */
- or -
eval error=runthis(cmd)
Select
when error=*blanks
when error='CPF....'
...
when error='CPF,,,,'
...
other
....
endsl

I need to have a cl program pass a variable to either a rpg or cl program.
This variable is the file name that the program needs to read from.
Any suggestions on how to do this???
Thanks
Chris
