The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If I understand what you're asking....
Create a duplicate of MyFile (no data) to MyFileZZ
Reference MyFile and MyFileZZ in the F-Specs and rename the format of
MyFileZZ to whatever (FormatZZ?)
Override MyFileZZ to MyFile and away you go.
You're reading/writing/updating the same/file/ but through two different
aliases.

Afternoon all
I know at one point, what I am about to ask is not feasible in RPG
(COBOL
is another matter), but the last time I asked this was when I had first
moved over from mainframe COBOL to AS/400 RPG. (TOO many moons ago)
Can you specify the same file name (physical or logical) more than once
in
a program?
I want to process 2 separate records by using the same key, or do I have
to
create a new logical with the same key as the file that already exists?
I almost forgot - we are on V5r4
As always - many thanks in anticipation
