Which command we can use to update a physical file using c.l pgm?..

Answer / sumit

Everyone is saying we cannot update pf using Cl...But please
try once using RUNSQLSTM before marking 'NO' to any answers.
As we can update a PF using CL.

RUNSQLSTM uses source file where source member is present.
And this source member contain UPDATE SQL, OR DELETE SQL, OR
INSERT SQL.

RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(LIB/QSRCPF)SRCMBR(SQLPGM)COMMIT(*NONE)

Once this statement run in CL then PF will get updated,
deleted or inserted with the new record.

Answer / anupam

Use of RUNSQLSTM helps in updating the physical file within
a CL program.

Syntax:

RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(LIB/QSRCPF)SRCMBR(SQLPGM)COMMIT(*NONE)

SQLPGM should contain

UPDATE PF set DATA='Value' where DATA'='Value1' and it will
update the PF
