Suppose you have 3 members in a database file. How to read
records from all the members
Without using CL (OVRDBF) i.e. it should be handled
exclusively in an RPG program?

Answer Posted / 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.
