Re: Modify source physical file member in RPG

[Raul A Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The source file can be read or modified like any other file, by relative 
record number.  Some mail programs will insist in 80 characters and 
reject bigger records, and that will make your life easier.
You can compile your program using an 80 char file, and set levelchk *no 
to process longer files.
