RE: OPEN in RPGIII


You could set a flag to identify a file already opened.

C OPENFLAG IFNE 'Y'
C MOVE 'Y' OPENFLAG 1
C OPEN MYFILE
C ENDIF

You could alternately use a named indicator.

d OpenInd s N

C if OpenInd = *off
C eval OpenInd = *on
C open MyFile
C endif

Those are the ways we did it in the old days...
Why wouldn't you do it in free form though?

Hi all,

How do I write the equivalent of

/FREE

>IF NOT %OPEN(MYFILE);
> %OPEN(MYFILE);

ENDIF;

/END-FREE

for RPGIII ?


At the moment, I have
C OPEN MYFILE 10
C KEY CHAINMYFILE 10

Thanks
