Will not wait until the job is finished - as it seems to be the result here.

Even if FRCRATIO would be a good solution, I think it would be much better to use OVRDBF than CHGPF.

But RPG doesn't use blocking for an update file or a file opened for both input and output, so there's no need to add FRCRATIO(1) or to use FEOD.

1 dcl-f I disk(100) usage(*input);
2 dcl-f O disk(100) usage(*output);
3 dcl-f IU disk(100) usage(*input:*update);
4 dcl-f IO disk(100) usage(*input:*output);
5 dcl-f IOU disk(100) usage(*input:*output:*update);

For this program, the compiler only puts out RNF7086 for the
input-only file and the output-only file:

*RNF7086 00 1 000100 RPG handles blocking for file I.
*RNF7086 00 2 000200 RPG handles blocking for file O.
