Answer / sumit gupta
if you want to read a particular member/or all member
records in RPG program without OVRDBF in CL program. Then,
you can use EXTMBR keyword.
Declare a file in f specs and in keyword option write
1) EXTMBR(*ALL)
or
2) EXTMBR(MEMBER NAME)
Member Name must be in CAPS as if you dont put it in CAPS
then severity 30 error comes while compilation.
