MEMBER(3)....But i want to read 3 members by CL Program And
RPG/400 program.Please write the coding(Program) for both
RPG/400 and CL/400 programs?
2.What are the full forms(stands) of EXEFILE and EXEMBR?
Answer Posted / abhishek bajpai
To read a multi member file.. u only need EXTMBR.
EXTFILE is used so that the name of the file is verified at
runtime and not at compile time. It is also used so that
the program opens the file from a desired library only (by
giving qualified name of the file as the parameter) and
not from the library list as usual.
To read the 3 members of a file..u must know the name of
the 3 members. On the F spec define the file with
EXTMBR(VAR1) USROPN
where Var1 is a variable. Before opening the file populate
Var1 with the member name in caps. And read the file.
In CL use OVRDBF as usual with the member name.
