Re: Input Secondary

True enough about RPG II and III. 
But if you find a better/easier way to process every record in multiple 
files in an 'interlaced' fashion WITHOUT using Matching Record processing 
on primary and secondary file(s), let me know.

Re: Input Secondary






Thank you, everyone!  I've learned more about input secondary files now 
than I ever wanted to know!  And I got down on my knees and thanked God 
that I don't ever have to program in RPG II anymore!

      Multi-file Processing with No Match Fields  When no match fields are 
used in multi-file processing, records are selected from one file at a 
time. When the records from one file are all processed, the records from 
the next file are selected. The files are selected in this order: 
       Primary file, if specified 
       Secondary files in the order in which they are described on the 
file description specifications.

coukd look it up of course, but if someone knows off the top of their 
head....
 
 
    TIA!
