Re: DISP-NEW and RPG/ILE program?

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,

In the 36 environment running an RPG36 program, the file does not have 
to exist before the program runs.  The combination of type 'O' on the 
File-spec and the DISP-NEW in the OCL says, in fact, that the file had 
better not exist before the program runs.

However, as you know, both RPG III and RPG IV require that the files  be 
available (exist) when they are opened.  Create the file before running 
the ILE program and then, if you still want to use OCL/36, change the 
DISP- parameter to OLD.  My suggestion, though, is to convert the OCL to 
a CLP with all of the necessary overrides, CRTxx's, etc., that the OCL 
was expecting.  Just as if you had created the necessary CL for the 
associated program from scratch.
