RE: Modify source physical file member in RPG

["Deese, Cynthia" <Cynthia.Deese@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I appreciate your assistance.  What I am trying to do, specifically, is that
I have a source file member called EDIEMAIL of type TXT in a source file
called QTXTSRC that will, ultimately, be used as the body of an email.  I am
receiving an inbound EDI transaction from our translator from which I am
trying to insert certain fields from the EDI document into the source file
member.  I am just confused as to how you work with a source file member
over just a physical file.  I can see the similarities as the physical
source file member has three fields, but since it is not a compiled object I
am a little confused how I would read, write, update fields as well as
determine the size of the file, ie 80, 112, etc.  I think I would use a
QCMDCMD or QCMDEXC to determine that, but I have only worked with physical
and logical files in rpg and cl.

Again, thank you for any assistance you may provide.

Cyndy Deese
