can we use cl programming to update or delete physical files

Answer Posted / chirag

Hi,

First you need to create a TXT source in which you need to
provie the update command.
Next in CL program you should use the command RUNSQLSTM on
this source(TXT).
So whenever you have to change another record you need to
simply change and save the TXT source.

Examply:

Data on file, PF1:
FLD1 FLD2 FLD3
000001 001 AAA BBB
000002 002 BBB CCC
000003 003 CCC DDD
000004 004 XXX ZZZ


Member1, Name: PGM1 , Type: TXT
UPDATE PF1 SET FLD3 = 'CHG' WHERE FLD1 = '004';


Member2, Name: PGM2 , Type: TXT
PGM
RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(LIB1/SRCFILE) SRCMBR(PGM1) +
COMMIT(*NONE)
ENDPGM

Compile the PGM2 and call it.

Now Result for data on PF1
FLD1 FLD2 FLD3
000001 001 AAA BBB
000002 002 BBB CCC
000003 003 CCC DDD
000004 004 XXX CHG

Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
