16. Suppose you have 3 members in a database file.

17. How to read records from all the members
without using CL (OVRDBF) ie it should be handled exclusively in an RPG program?

Use the EXTMBR keyword on the F-spec with the member name coded as a variable. Then you want to process a different member, close the file, change the variable to the new member name, and re-open the file. No CL needed.


Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!

You can use EXTMBR('*ALL') as well and get the current member name in the INFDS.

How it went? It went well, but there were no questions like was posted here, but that is OK.

They have one more person to see but the feedback was they 'liked me'. I need them to 'love me'. It is very much like a marriage this interviewing thing.

Wish me luck, my suffering, my Last Record Indicator, my be *ON today!
