Re: exfile question

The ExtFile keyword has no effect on the library list or the availability of the file during the compile. I.e., the file must be in the library list. Since INPUT is a pseudo-name, you would need an OVRDBF statement prior to the compile.

Hi all I have a question about using extfile keyword.

finput if e k disk extfile('GDESAVOLD/MVMNDB')
f extmbr('*all')
fmvmndb if e k disk prefix(nw_)



when I try to reference fields in the input file I get the var not defined
compile message.
Another thing I was going to try was to change input to the actual file name
but then I would have the same file defined twice.

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nick
