Rishi -

People rarely send the "exact code" on these tech forums. It makes it sound
like you are asking others to do your work (or homework) for you, and people
don't want to do that.

However, iseries developers do like to point people in the right direction.

That said, maybe you could try something like the following (although I have
no idea if this will work)

Rtvmbrd filename NBRCURRCD (&rrn)

topOfLoop:
Ovrdbf filename POSITION(*RRN &rrn)
rcvf
Chgvar &rrn (&rrn - 1)
If (&rrn > 0) goto TopOfLoop


This is the most direct method I can think of. Using a less direct
alternative, SQL or OPNQRYF would allow you to add a sequential # to each
record, then RCVF the view in descending order.

Hi,

I want to read a physical file in reverse order using cl program condition
is there should not be any logical file in this program.If somebody could
please send the exact code for this then it would really be helpful to
understand the logic.

Thanks
