RE: I want the system to hold my program until more data arrives.........

You could use a trigger on the physical file (ADDPFTRG) which would then
call your program whenever a record was added.  Look in the RPG sorcerer's
guide for info on how to do this.  Or if you need to retain information as
you go you could use a data queue.  I have a setup where I wait for entries
to come into a data queue and when one comes in my program processes it.
This would need to used in conjunction with a trigger on a physical file if
you wanted to get new records added to a file.

Hope that helps,
Aaron Bartell

Hi
Iam just reading "pf" in RPG..Occassionally,instead of telling the
program there is no more data,I want the system to hold my program
until more data arrives in the file.when the more data arrives in
the file,the program can read the newly arrived records..how can i
do this type of processing in RPG....In CL i guess i can mention
EOFDLY parameter on OVRDBF.....
Kindly suggest me...
Regards&Thanks,
Murali
