Re: Open with USROPN Files

Thanks was pretty sure that was true for OPEN and I'm pretty sure I can 
build it into SQL statements but for client thats a no-no. :(

Thanks I'll just create another up front pgm to do clear and then call the 
other with regular file opens and my QCMDEXC cmds.

Bill,

Your original thinking is correct, it is truth. ;)

in otherwords, you can't use a variable name as the open opcode's
arguement.

you could, on the otherhand, I think, use it as the arguement of an SQL
statement.

hth,

rick

----original message--------
I'm thinking the answer 'NO' but I'll ask anyway.

I have a file that contains several records with the file names being used
in serveral programs.

The file names are brought into these programs as a field variable  to do
things like CLRPFM, CPYTOIMPF, etc.

Is it truth that there is no way to do this:

C                                          EVAL       FILENAME    = ''' +
%trim(DRKY)  + '''    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< this
C                                          OPEN      FILENAME

C                                          Eval          Qcmd = 'CLRPFM
FILE('  +  %trim(DRKY)  + ')'

Can't test myself iSeries not avail.

Thanks
Bill Hopkins
