Re: Fw: File in CL Program

[Jodi_Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Jodi Walker)]

     Actually, yes it is possible to update a db file in a CL.  In fact, 
     you can do more than update - IF you have a little help.  Read the 
     article at 
     http://www.as400network.com/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticl
     e&CO_ContentID=7217 
     
     then download & install the code.  I couldn't resist trying it & it 
     works like a champ.
     If the link doesn't work, just search the AS400 network site for the 
     article called 'CL flexes its database muscles' by Peter Clifford.
     
     Things you can do with these db i/o commands in CL: 
     Open a db file
     Close a db file
     Read a record from a db file
     Position the file cursor in a db file
     Update a record in a db file
     Write a record to a database file
     Delete a record from a database file
     Release a locked record
     Retrieve the value of a named field from a record format
     Change the value of a named field in a record format

I recently went on an interview. (By the way, I am the one who has been 
looking for a job for over a year and has not found one yet). He asked me 
about files in CL programs. I told him that there can only be one, that I 
have read database files in a CL program in a loop, etc. Can you update a 
database file in a CL program? I told him that I never had done that. 
     
Sincerely, Nancy
