Re: Readp statement wait indefinitely

Nanda,
If it's truly waiting, then check out the OVRDBF statement for that file. There should be a parm EOFDLY(), which controls this behavior.

Hi All,
I need some assistance in understanding the concept of how ReadP statment works. I see the following set of statments in one of our RPGLE programs: 

*Loval          SetLL           File1
                   ReadP(E)     File1
The above ReadP statement is simply waiting for infinite time till a record is inserted into File1. I expected a BOF or EOF condition. I would like to know on what conditions a ReadP statement waits for a record to be inserted and in what condition just returns "No Record Found" condition. 

Please help me in understanding this concepts.

TIA,
Nanda
