RE: Reading a text file a record at a time rather then byte

[Robert Rogerson <robertrogerson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're referring to Scott's ebook "Working with the IFS in RPG IV"
(http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/ifs_ebook/ifs_ebook.pdf)
Then scan for readline.  This may be what you're looking for...

Subject: Reading a text file a record at a time rather then byte

I am using Scott Klements read() api to read a fixed width record a byte at
at time (extproc('read')). 

 

Is there a proc that will read an entire record. This record is fixed width.
