can we use cl programming to update or delete physical files

Answer Posted / saravan

We can clear file using CLRPFM command.
If we want delete PF we can use DLTF command.
But before delete any PF first of all we need to
delete all the LFs related in that PF.(DSPDBR=Display Data
Base Relations,we can get all LFs relating to that PF)You
must give the correct Library name for all the commands
above.
For UPDATE, DELETE & INSERT, use RUNSQL command.
Ex: RUNSQL (UPDATE LIBR/FILE SET FLD = 'XXX'
WHERE CONDITION)
Note: RMVM is to delete/remove a member from a file. But
not to delet a file completely.

Q:Hi all,i want accurate answer with code using in built functions.please sent me code as soon as posible. I have program nmed PGM1 which '' RETRIEVE Current production date''should correctly default the production date for the user who is issuing raw materials to the manufacturing.The production date can be different from the celendra date. However, the program does not make the correct adjustment for all manufacturing plants. there is a parameter which determines the production start time e.g. 07:00 if the system time precedes this,the program subtracts one from the celendra day.This work fine when the celendar day starts after production day as it does in England,the system should be adding one to the celendar day during the overlap. unfortunately the program was desined to assumed the celendar day always starts before the production day. Change required in the program: Change the PROGRAM PGM1 to use the new parrameter to decide whether to add or subtract 1 from the celendar day when determining the production date.
