Re: Open with USROPN Files

["Peter Dow" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

As of V5R1 you can use EXTFILE(varFileName) EXTMBR(varMbrName) on a file's
F-spec along with USROPN.  Populate varFileName and varMbrName then OPEN the
file using the RPG filename.

fFile1     if   e           k disk    extfile(varFileName)
extmbr(varMbrName) usropn

d varFileName        s            21a
d varMbrName       s            10a

c                        eval        varFileName = 'LIB1/XYZ'
c                        eval        varMbrName = 'ABC'
c                        open       File1
