Re: # of records in a file

["Rusling, John B. (Alliance)" <jbrusling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thinking out loud (haven't actually done this).

one thought ---
Make your CL program a CLLE program.

Create a function in an ile rpg service program that returns the count of
records in the file name/library name you pass in and use CALLPROC in your
clle pgm to use the function.

the rpg function could possibly be one the uses runtime file control with
EXTFILE specified, then just do READ's.



another thought ---
Have a CL program(s) that's only purpose is to do the check (using DCLF,
RCVF) for each file.

ie,  CL program CHKFILE1 does this for FILE1., CHKFILE2 does for FILE2...

# of records in a file
Hi

I have a CL in which I copy records from an OPNQRYF to another file. I 
want
to check if any records are copied. How can I check?
I thought of DSPFD (*MBRLST) where MLNRCD gives # of records but this
outfile has to be created using DDS, cannot be created runtime.
The other option, I thought of is DCLF and RCVF. If EoF for RCVF, the file
is blank. But I have to test this for multiple files and I can declare 
only
1 file in CL.

Any suggestions?
