C                         Enddo 

So can I do the following with  DRKY field in FileName file having the 
value of the file name XYZ  so in the end it will clrpfm then open XYZ then 
whatever it has in next 
record etc?

I would test but no iSeries today.

Thanks 
Bill Hopkins

 
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
