Re: CLP - Open file, read to end, close file, reopen, still

I don't believe you can do that once EOF is reached.

Either declare the file twice (I haven't tried that to see if it works) 
or do the DSPOBJD command twice to two different files.  I think it 
might also be possible to do two OPNQRYF commands against the same file.
