Steema?

Simply override the file to MBR(*ALL) and then call the program as usual. When you read the file you will read records from the first member in the file. When you hit the last record in that first member, and then do a subsequent READ, the system does a sort of mini-close/open of the file; opening the next member. This "just happens" you don't have to create the member list. The INFDS for the file contains the "current" member name as you read through the file's records. So you always know what member you are processing. -Bob Cozzi www.RPGxTools.com RPG xTools - Enjoy programming again. -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael_Schutte@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 7:41 AM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: Reading a member file Here's what I would do... Either use the API that the other person suggested (I'll have to keep that in mind the next time, that one is new to me), or the CL command that I suggested. If you use the CL command, first execute the CL command to build the file in QTEMP... Then in the RPG program do...

I only need to be concerned w/ the past 2 years. Is the approach the same in this scenario, of reading the file, all of the members? U would have to make it a called program w/ the ovrdbf? > I don't know if you got the answer you wanted, but one suggestion that > comes to mind. > > DSPFD FILE(LIBRARY/FILE) TYPE(*MBR) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) FILEATR(*ALL) OUTFILE > (QTEMP/DSPFD) > > Then you can read through QTEMP/DSPFD looking at the field...
