RE: File update after abnormal program termination

Thanks for the example, Barbara.  I've read about this before and seem to
remember that this only works if the job ends in a *CNTRLD instead of
*IMMED.

Is that correct or will this work regardless of how the job ends?

This could be done by a cancel handler.  But you will have to add an
RPG IV wrapper to your RPG III program.  Just rename the RPG III program
and call the RPG IV program what the RPG III program was called before.
All the RPG IV program has to do is register the cancel handler and call
through to the RPG III program passing on the *entry parms.
The cancel handler can then call any program you like to actually do the
clearing of the file.
