Hi,

If you use SETLL 1, systeme will set you on the first row, but it is not necessary the rrn(1) if it does not exist.

Objet : [V4R5] File in arrival sequence: Correct way to place pointer at BOF

Hello,

I have a PF that is used as temporary storage for a cpyfrmimpf. It has no keys whatsoever and is truncated before each run (rmvm, addpfm). I reference that file in RPGLE without the K flag, because it has no keys.

What is the correct way to place the file pointer at BOF?

Neither setll *START, nor *LOVAL work: The compiler complains that these are invalid. Setting it to 1 makes the program compile. But this is now based on the assumption that there is always a RRN 1 in the file.

Did some Googling but did not find enlightenment. Hints are welcome!

:wq! PoC
