I have a Physical File name 'File1', which is present in
two libraries named 'LIB1' & 'LIB2'. These 2 libraries are
listed in the library list. Would like to access data from
this file from these two libraries using RPG program. How
to do this, any idea?
Answer Posted / 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
