Answer / swetha p rao
1. Declare the file File1 in Useropen mode and use OVRDBF
with that library name before you open the file through
QCMDEXC
OVRDBF (LIB1/FIle1) SHARE(*YES)
Open File1
Read File1
.....
Close File1
OVRDBF (LIB2/FIle1) SHARE(*YES)
Open File1
Read File1
.....
Close File1
(or)
Use SQLRPGLE ,Declare a cursor for both files
c+ exec-sql
c+ Declare Cursor C1
c+ Select * from LIB1/File1
c+ End exec
c+ exec-sql
c+ Declare Cursor C2
c+ Select * from LIB2/File1
c+ End exec

Answer / divakar reddy
F FILE1 IF A E K DISK ExtFile('LIB1/FILE1')
RENAME(file1:Afile1)
F FILE1 IF A E K DISK ExtFile('LIB2/FILE1')
RENAME(file1:Bfile1)
This should work...

Answer / manan
actually the first answer will only work in sequential
execution in CL or SQLRPG. But if we wanna to use
simultaneously in the RPG then the CL will be OVRDBF FILE 1
to LIB1 and for the file 2 Use some other file FILEXXX and
OVRDBF it to LIB2/FILE1 and in RPG use the FILEXXX so when
u refer to any operation in FILEXXX that will reflect to
FILE1 in LIB2.
Other options for RPG4 are also correct ie usinf the
EXTFILE.

Answer / syam
In RPG use this
F FILE1 IF A E K DISK RENAME(file1:Afile1)
F FILE1 IF A E K DISK RENAME(file1:Bfile1)
In read, open and close use Afile1 and Bfile1
