You can use READE opcode in dow while loop to read aal the
records of PF which is 'demo'.
Because everytime cursor reads the next value in the file.

Answer / bhalchandra

What u can do is u can create a non join LF over the PF and
give the Select clause for that field like this:
S FLD1 COMP(EQ 'demo')

And now u can use this LF in your program.

Answer / swetha p rao

If the particular field value is demo , then you can do
onething to avoid reading the file unnecesarily

1. Declare a temporary file in user open mode and specify
as external mbr in F spec.

2. In CPYF there is an option to include records (INCREL )
based on selection, just copy all the records where the
field value is 'demo' in a temporary file with a create
file option. (using QCMDEXC)

3.Now the temporary file will have only demo records.Open
the file and read the records.

(or)

Using SQLRPGLE, write a query to select the records which
has field value 'demo'


Correct me if iam wrong

Answer / sudhir

to escape from creating a new object of LF(if its not a
permanent requirement) you can use OPNQRYF to select
whichever records you want like:

OPNQRYF FILE((FILENAME)) QRYSLT('(FIELDNAME *EQ "demo")')

hope you got your answer

Answer / swetha

that wud again create an object, What if the requirement
changes evrytume.then the LF wud not be useful

Answer / prasanna

In the RPG code, Move the value demo to the field and do a
reade on the file

Answer / jeganath

Go for ReadE i.e Read Equals,

give 'Demo' in Factor 1

'Demo' ReadE

it will fetch records equals 'Demo' string in the file, and
also it avoid unnecessary reading of other records, very
effective,


Note: it works only when that field is declared as key in
PF file

Answer / deepika

setll keyfld pf1
reade keyfld pfl1
dou %eof

Answer / rajgoaj
