Re: Use of 2 logical files

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Sure, you take your pointy haired boss out in the woods and shoot him.
Then you convert the program into RPGIV.

Plan B:  Recreate the logical files, giving them different record format
names.

Plan C:  Access the second file using SQL and avoid the record format name
problem.

Plan D:  If you are accessing the files sequentially one at a time, for
example, read all fileA then read all fileB, then open/close the files in
your program and use QCMDEXC to OVRDBF to the right file.  Thus you are
only declaring one file.  Provided they have the same layout.

Plan E:  Look at the KRENAME continuation line option.

I have a program that is written in RPGIII(RPG/400) that needs to use two
logical files that are based on the same physical file record format.  I
know that you can use RENAME in RPGIV, but this needs to be done in RPGIII.
Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?  Thanks!
