Re: Really basic question - File Description

Hi Guy,

IF  means INPUT only
UF  means file is used for UPDATE
UF  A  means file is used for UPDATE and/or ADDITION
O  means file is OUTPUT (records ADDED)



HTH,

Nick

Really basic question - File Description






My programmer is on holiday, otherwise I'd ask him...

I would like to see which of our program updates a file on our iSeries. 
If I use WRKMBRPDM and search all our rpg source I see lots of 
references to it like this

FNAME    IF  E           K        DISK

But in the program I think updates it I see

FNAME    O   E           K        DISK

Hopefully, the O tells me something helpful - like this program writes 
to this file?
What do IF and UF (which I've also seen) mean, and are they any other 
common definitions?

Thanks

Guy
