Re: Any limitations with EXTFILE?

EXTFILE only affects the program at _run_ time. It doesn't affect it at compile time.

In other words, when you _compile_ this code, you need to do :

OVRDBF FILE(MYFILE1) TOFILE(MYFILE)
OVRDBF FILE(MYFILE2) TOFILE(MYFILE)
...compile here...CRTBNDRPG or whatever...
DLTOVR FILE(MYFILE1 MYFILE2)

However, when you _run_ the program, you don't need the overrides.

Hi,

I'm getting an SQL1001 from the precompiler with this code : "external definition for myfile2 not found"


FMYFILE1 IF E K DISK RENAME(MYFORMAT:F1)
F EXTFILE('MYFILE')

FMYFILE2 IF E K DISK RENAME(MYFORMAT:F1)
F EXTFILE('MYFILE')

nothing else - no other messages even level 10. Am I allowed to use EXTFILE twice on the same external file?
