RE: opening 2 files, same name, different libraries in an RPG pgrogram

Yet another good case for using CodeStudio or Code400 and the "Run before"
options in those tools.  Too bad we don't have some compiler directive like
/OSCMD 'OVRDBF MYFILE TOFILE(QGPL/MYFILE)'
That we could just embedded in the source code to help with the compile
process.

Bob,

I thought of that, but I don't want to have to do that override every time
at compile time, nor depend on someone coming after me to actually read the
notes in the program to figure out how to compile it.

Booth,

I don't have a problem with the 2 files having the same field names (in
fact I want it that way).

I guess i'll just create an empty copy of the file and be done with it.

Oh well...  thanks anyway

Rick

Issue an override from a dummy file name in your RPG program to the
actually
file name, just prior to compiling. Then use the EXTFILE keyword to point
it
at the correct file at runtime.

 Have you considered using the PREFIX keyword on the second file?
