Relaxed rules for data structures for I/O operations
An externally-described data structure or LIKEREC data structure defined
with type *ALL can be used as the result data structure for any I/O
operation. See File Operations

Hi All,

I always use a *INPUT and *OUPUT when using likerec for updating a file
(when using data structures). I seem to recall that *ALL only worked for
displays not files.

I'm reviewing a colleague's code and wasn't sure if using one data
structure with *ALL would work for a file.

I'm on V7R1. Has this been changed or are two data structures still
required when updating a file?

Thanks,

Rob
