Yes, EXTMBR allows a variable. -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 steema@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 10:06 AM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: RE: Reading a member file There are a few lines per member, a few comments w/in that. How I will know which are comments or not is a sep. issue but it should be OK, there seems to be some blank lines in there to indicate. THe Extmbr does not allow a variable. I am still not getting this. > Someone suggested a keyword for the F-Spec that lets you programatically > change which member you are reading (at least that is how I interpreted > the post).
