Hi Rob, I recall that I built a CL command in a string-variable, then used the CALL opcode to invoke QCMDEXC - the parms being the string and string-length. Is this not a good way to exec the odd o/s command? Is this not considered as allowing rpg to 'handle itself' ? As I said, I'm no rpg programmer ... so I'm willing to be educated ;-) Kind regards, Jeffrey E.

Jeff, Not CL phobics. However, why not let RPG handle itself? When you do it that way you don't have to worry about what level of scoping to apply on using QCMDEXC's OVRDBF and other functions. And I think it will be a touch more readable. Remember I said "who 'NEEDS'". Granted the other ways may work, (then again they may not if you take an OPM and use CVTRPGSRC), but this way seems, to me anyway, to be a little more straightforward.

Hi all, I just thought I'd butt in on this one. Do we have some CL-phobiacs among our ranks :-) Now I'm no RPG specialist (thank G), however, in a dark recess of my mind, from many years ago ... I recall that there is an Opcode that allows CL command strings to be executed directly from within RPG. IIRC - this is precisely what I used it for - file overrides. Is this feature no longer available ? I can understand why you might not want the hassle of a CL-wrapper for your RPG. Kind regards, Jeffrey E.

WRKOBJ seems to only show you the one you have access to. We had a person who had two copies of the file in their library list. They called a program to use it and it bombed. They did a WRKOBJ and used option 5 and it looked ok. I went over to their session and instead of using WRKOBJ I used DSPOBJD *libl/object and it bombed. That's how we found out they had two in their library list. Instead of implicitly opening the program in your program (if you are using RPG) open it explicitly. Then check the status code on the open. If it fails because you do not have authority, then call an api to list this object in your library list. Process that user space to find the desired object. Then change the variable used in the EXTFILE keyword to point to this new file. Who needs CL and overrides for this?
