1)create a logical file on the P.F while creating mentioned
the DataMember name in the crtpf command and use this
logical if u are not able to use ovrdbf in cl, Extmber in
RPG400/RPGIV and QCMDEXEC in RPG/RPGLE to Execute in OVRDBF.
ex: CRTLF FILE(FILEA) DTAMBRS((FILEA (MEM02)))

Answer / sweta
What is the scenario exactly , You want to access all the
members of the file one by one and you donno the names of
the memebers
or
You want to access only second member and you donno the
name of the member
If you want to use only second number then define a
variable and initialise it with second member name.and in F
spec define the extmbr.

Sweta,
I think above scenario will clear what am trying to ask.
---------------------------
I have following scenario :-
a) One file says FILEA,has a three members
Members : Mem01 ,Mem02 ,Mem03
b) I want to use member Mem02 in my RPG400 program
(PGM01). (I have to use only RPG400 not RPGIV/RPGILE)
c) I don't want to use QCMDEXE,EXTMBR or OVRDBF in program
PGM01.
How can I do it....?

Answer / shruti tayal
IGNORE/INCLUDE keywords are specific to all the record
formats of the member under consideration...so if used it
would ignore/include that specific record format not file
member.

Answer / ankush chaudhary
Hi Paul,
In order to ignore say first member of a file and use the
2nd member we can use IGNORE and INCLUDE keywords on the F
specs.
IGNORE is used in case we do not want to use a particular
member of a file.
INCLUDE helps in using a particular record format for the
file.
Hope this clarify your doubt.
