Steema,

I still think Bob's would be a good option.   Question... Are there more
than one record for each member?

OvrDBF FILE MBR(*ALL)

Then

FRTA03L1   IF   E           K DISK    INFDS(INFORMATION)

D Information     DS
D  Member               129    138

D Previous        S             10
 /FREE



   Previous = *Blanks;
   DoW not %EoF(RTA03L1);
       Read RTA03L1;
       If %EoF(RTA03L1);
          Leave;
       EndIf;

        // If working with new member, setLL to whereever you want to go
        If Member <> Previous;
           Previous = Member;
           SetLL with_whatever RTA03L1;
           ItEr;
        EndIf;

    EndDo;
    *INLR = *ON;
    RETURN;
/End-free


I maybe misundstanding your situation.  Maybe another option would be to
create a workfile that has only the member names and maybe a date, create a
key to this workfile.  Then you can SetLL to a member, OVRDBF to that
member using QCMDEXC or the ExtMbr keyword, Open the file to read, process,
close the file, then read the next record in the member workfile that was
created.

Just throwing some options out there. Not sure if I'm grasping what you
would like to do.

You don't need to create a list of member names to process all the members
in a
file.

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.

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...

FDSPFD     IF   E           K DISK    ExtFile(QTEMP/DSPFD)
 * I'm doing this from memory, so I don't know if you can
 * reference a field from DSPFD file. You may need to Change
FMYFILE    IF   E           K DISK    ExtMbr(MBNAME) UsrOpn

 /Free

   Read DSPFD;
   DoW not %EoF(DSPFD);

       // Close MyFile In Case It's Open
       If %Open(MyFile);
          Close MyFile;
       EndIf;

       // Open MyFile To The Member
       // Specified In field MBNAME
       Open MyFile;

       Read MyFile;
       DoW not %EoF(MyFile);

           // Do MyFile Processing... Writing To Workfile
           Read MyFile;
       EndDo;

       Read DSPFD;
   EndDo;

   // Close MyFile In Case It's Open
   If %Open(MyFile);
      Close MyFile;
   EndIf;

   *InLr = *On;
   Return;

 /End-Free

I think what I can do is to read the entire file, and make a work file out
of it.
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?
