Hello,
I need to know the actual physical file member name of record that being
read from a logical file member that is based on multiple physical
members. I did some research and found that position 395-396 in INFDS
seems to be what I needed. It seems to contain the actual
physical-file-member-number of the currently read logical file record.
The question is how can I translate this member number into the actual
member name? The only way I know of is to do DSPFD to a temporary out
file and do a chain to this temp file using member number as the RRN.
This sound ugly.
