Re: Multiple members files

Given that you're working with RPG IV, you can use EXTMBR() on the
F-spec.... (IFIAK it's there in v4r5)

EXTMBR(membername)
The EXTMBR keyword specifies which member of the file is opened. You can
specify a member name,
'*ALL', or '*FIRST'. Note that '*ALL' and '*FIRST' must be specified in
quotes, since they are member
"names", not RPG special words. The value can be a literal or a variable.
The default is '*FIRST'.
The name must be in the correct case. For example, if you specify
EXTMBR(mbrname) and variable
mbrname has the value 'mbr1', the member will not be found. Instead, it
should have the value 'MBR1'.
If a variable name is used, it must be set before the file is opened. For
files that are opened automatically
during the initialization part of the cycle, the variable must be set in
one of the following ways:
• Using the INZ keyword on the D specification
• Passing the value in as an entry parameter
• Using a program-global variable that is set by another module.

I can't speak to the save issue but....

I was already in bed when typing my message on my iPad. :-) Now I'm
properly awake again, I just looked at dsptap for my last daily save and
there were only changed members listed.

With no overrides, the default member used by RPG should be *FIRST.

Thanks for pointing that out!

:wq! PoC
