Re: Passing a file to a procedure

[CRPence <crp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  If the first noted procedure also does the full-open and SHARE(*YES) 
is in effect [, scoped for future opens in the same routing step], then 
when the other procedure does its own open & close, the impact for full 
opens will be reduced.  That is, /continuous/ paired open & close 
activity would be /shared/ instead of paired full-open & full-close.

  The SHARE() parameter on OVRDBF "Specifies whether the open data path 
(ODP) is shared with other programs in the same routing step.  When an 
ODP is shared, the programs accessing the file share facilities such as 
the file status and the buffer."  Note: The SHARE() parameter on CRTPF & 
CRTLF applies *only* to the/when member being created; i.e. it is not a 
file-level specification, such that the ADDPFM & ADDLFM have their own 
SHARE() parameter, but there is no option SHARE(*FILE).
