Re: Special file parameter issue

Another consideration is multiple format files. Does Open Access
handle multiple formats? Specifically, if I only wanted to deal with
a single format (read file) in a multiple format join logical could
it be handled in Open Access or would I wind up doing all I/O for all
formats in the file in the handler?


If the RPG program has access to more than one format in the multiple format file (no INCLUDE or IGNORE keyword on the F spec), then for a read by file name, the handler has to figure out which format to use, and provide the name of the format that was chosen (as well as returning the input data for the chosen format).

Not sure if this answers your question.
