RE: Variable length record in different files

["Phil" <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Once I needed to put generic documentation at the top of every source
member.

I used CL for this.

1. retrieve the member description of the source file
2. for each member, using cpyf I copied my generic source into the same
member but new library followed by copying the source from the original
library/file member to the new library/file member *add.

I had two generic source members.  One for source where an * in pos 7 means
comment and one where /* */ is necessary.

Phil
