 >> Could you write a subprocedure in CLLE using the OPNDBF command?

That just opens the ODP - it won't help the RPG - it still needs to open the
file.

The only way I know to handle it via a pointer is to use the C record I/O
APIs.

As Bob noted earlier - sharing of files between modules in RPG "sucks".
Even COBOL's EXTERNAL option is an improvement in many ways.
