The open feedback area is the part of the open data path (ODP) that contains general information about the file after it has been opened. It also contains file-specific information, depending on the file type, plus information about each device or communications session defined for the file. This information is set during open processing and can be updated as other operations are performed.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3fedbk.htm">I/O feedback area</a></strong><br />
<span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> uses <span class="keyword">OS/400<sup>®</sup></span> messages and I/O feedback information
to communicate the results of I/O operations to the program. The
server updates the I/O feedback area for every successful I/O operation unless
your program uses blocked record I/O.</li>
