Re: reading different files according to user input

Yivi,

If the two files share the same record format you could use an external
OVRDBF outside the RPG program (done while the file is closed) so you don't
have to declare two different files in your program.

If they don't share the same record format then you could push the read
logic into  subprocedures like ReadRecord( Select ) or ChainRecord(
Select ).  Instead of checking for %Eof you could use your own indicator
which gets set from the appropriate %Eof in ReadRecord() like:

DoW MoreRecords;

Alternately you could return an indicator from ReadRecord identifying end of
file with something like:

DoW ReadRecord( Select );
