Re: clearing file currently opened in exit pgm

so in that documentation, I found APYJRNCHG in which I tried just after my
ftruncate64().
It failed with "File system error occurred. Error number 3029".

Read more of the documentation and see... "When you apply journaled changes
to an object, the object cannot be in use by anyone else."

Well unfortunately, this object is currently in use by "me" in the exit pgm
(just after my ftruncate64())...

Am I missing something?

I know how to do commitment control in rpg for PF’s (both native and

But what is the rpg syntax to issue a commit on a stmf?

if the file is journaled, you'll need to do a COMMIT.

So I have a stmf file opened in my exit pgm registered to

QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_OPEN.

I want to clear that file... and then later write to it further in the exit

pgm.

I do a ftruncate64() in my exit pgm and if I do a wrklnk and look at the

bytes, it did clear it and set the bytes to 0.

Good...

But when I later write to the file later on in the exit pgm, the data I

thought I cleared returns and my new data appends to it.


Is this because the file was never closed before the new data was written

to it?

How can I ensure it is cleared and then allowed to write to in this same

exit pgm without the ability to close it before the write?


Is there some functionality with the below exit pgmoutput ds fields that

can be set to allow my clear to "stick"?


8 8 CHAR(1) Update object scan information

9 9 CHAR(1) Scan status
