Re: Really basic question - File Description

Guy,

IF = input, full procedural
UF = update, full procedural
O = output

Warning: if it has IF A, you can also write to it!

Really basic question - File Description






My programmer is on holiday, otherwise I'd ask him...

I would like to see which of our program updates a file on our iSeries.
If I use WRKMBRPDM and search all our rpg source I see lots of
references to it like this

FNAME IF E K DISK

But in the program I think updates it I see

FNAME O E K DISK

Hopefully, the O tells me something helpful - like this program writes
to this file?
What do IF and UF (which I've also seen) mean, and are they any other
common definitions?

Thanks

Guy
