Reading A Source file In RPG

[Skittle]

I am writing a program that reformats RPG source.
To do this I have defined 'QRPGSRC' as a file in my program in exactly the same way as any normal data file. I have used the OVRDBF command to point at a specific member before calling my program.
My program compiles cleanly but when I run the program I get an error of the form:-
'Undefined record type is found in file QRPGSRC'.
Is there something extra I need to do to allow a source file member to be read by an RPG program?

The error you are getting is probably due to the way you compiled your program. If you did not issue an OVRDBF to point to one of your own defined QRPGSRC source files, then it would most probably use the QRPGSRC source file in QGPL which is not quite the same as one we would create ourselves.

So ...

Issue an OVRDBF command from the command line.
Compile program interactivley.
Run program.
