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

I use OVRDBF EOFDLY, the program goes into state EOFW.
You will need to make provision to tell the program
to terminate.  I usually write a record to the
file with EOFDLY with a special value eg.
'TERMINATE' the program checks for the value then
ends. (Seton LR , RETURN etc)

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,
