Answer / ravikumar
Hi,
we can read this file from end of file now.
but once the cursor reached at the end of file then we can not read it again.
DCLF FILE(FILE NAME) OPNID(E)
POSDBF OPNID(File Name) POSITION(*END)
READ: RCVF OPNID(E)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0864) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(END))
OPERATIONS
GOTO CMDLBL(READ)
END: ENDPGM

Answer / tthomas
Once the file reaches EOF the file is close.POSDBF wont
work in this case. To be clear no file operations can be
done on the file.
Upto 5 files can be declared in V5R3 with different OPEN
ID's.So u can declare the same file 5 times if u want and
perform different operations until the file reaches EOF.
Hope this info will be sufficient.

In V5R4M0 , we can declare 5 files in CL-ILE pgm
DCLF (FILE1) OPENID(OP1_)
DCLF (FILE2) OPENID(OP2_)
DCLF (FILE3) OPENID(OP3_)
DCLF (FILE4) OPENID(OP4_)
DCLF (FILE5) OPENID(OP5_)
DCL &LGL *LGL VALUE('1')
DOWHILE (&LGL = '1')
RCVF (RCDFMT_FILE1)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0864) EXEC(LEAVE)
OPERATIONS
ENDDO
SIMILAR TO ALL 4 FILES....

Answer / abhishek bajpai
Hi All,
Please read the question first. It asks the method to re-
position/re-read the file again after it reached EOF in a
CL. Please dont post answers to prevent it from reaching
EOF :).
Also, u can use a single keyword CLOSE for the same as
described above by me.
Thanks

Answer / siddhartha
Use POSDBF OPNID(File Name) POSITION(*START) to position
the cursor to the beginning of the file.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 11 Yes | 20 No |
Answer / skma
I think it can be done by using OVRDBF
Like
OVRDBF FILE(FILE1) POSITION(*START)
Thanks

RETRIVING DELETED RECORDS :- I'm frequently asked how to retrieve deleted records from an unjournaled physical file when the deleted records have not yet been removed from the file. Utility UNDEL lets you undelete records in a physical file. This public domain program is available in CISC and RISC versions, and the complete source code is available for download at: UNDEL for AS/400 Save File (RISC): http://www.as400network.com/sharewarefiles/undelris.zip UNDEL for AS/400 Save File (CISC): http://www.as400network.com/sharewarefiles/undel.zip UNDEL for AS/400 Save File (Source code): http://www.as400network.com/sharewarefiles/undelsrc.zip The utility takes advantage of the fact that deleted records in physical files are only flagged as deleted, and the record data still exists until it is overwritten or the file is reorganized with a utility such as RGZPFM. UNDEL simply reads the deleted record, then reuses the record by writing over it with the new record (thus eliminating the flag for the deleted record). Some homegrown and commercial utilities copy the file containing undeleted records to a save file, then use a program to read the save file, which contains live and undeleted records, to a file to undelete the records. The UNDEL utility is superior to the SAVF technique because there's no need to copy the file to a save file, which is especially important for really large files. When run, UNDEL displays the physical file records in their unformatted, raw text form. You can either position the display to a given relative record number or use F19 or F20 to find the previous and next deleted record, respectively. The utility also includes online help, which is almost unheard of for free utilities. Other utilities include the ability to undelete records. You can use the RTVDLTRCD command in the old QUSRTOOL (no longer supported by IBM). QUSRTOOL is now a commercial product called TAA Productivity Tools ( http://www.taatool.com ). The free file editor WRKDBF has a built-in undelete capability ( http://www.wrkdbf.com ), and several commercial file editors can undelete records. For a complete list of file editors, go to http://www.sourcebook400.com, select "Programmer Tools" under "Product Category," then select "File Editors."
A particular job executing on the iS is not behaving as expected and is operating in an environment in which it can be debugged. What commands would you use to debug and observe the program?
How can we find out whether the job is interactive or Batch through RPG program? 2) How can we find out through CL program?
