<h1 class="topictitle1">Use an existing record format in the file</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command does the record selection
|
|
and your program processes only the records that meet the selection values.
|
|
You can use this approach to select a set of records, return records in a
|
|
different sequence than they are stored, or both. </p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>Assume that you only want your program to process the records
|
|
in which the <em>Code</em> field is equal to D. You create the program as if
|
|
there were only records with a D in the <em>Code</em> field. That is, you do
|
|
not code any selection operations in the program. You then run the OPNQRYF
|
|
command and specify that only the records with a D in the <em>Code</em> field
|
|
are to be returned to the program. The following chart is an example of using
|
|
the OPNQRYF command to select and sequence records:</p>
|
|
<br /><img src="rbafo538.gif" alt="Examples of records" /><br /><dl><dt class="dlterm"><strong>1</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Create the high-level language program to process the database file as
|
|
you would any normal program using externally described data. Only one format
|
|
can be used, and it must exist in the file.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"><strong>2</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Run the Override with Database file (OVRDBF) command specifying the file
|
|
and member to be processed and SHARE(*YES). (If the member is permanently
|
|
changed to SHARE(*YES) and the first or only member is the one you want to
|
|
use, this step is not necessary.) <p>The OVRDBF command can be run after the
|
|
OPNQRYF command, unless you want to override the file name specified in the
|
|
OPNQRYF command. In this discussion and in these examples, the OVRDBF command
|
|
is shown first.</p>
|
|
<p>Some restrictions are placed on using the OVRDBF command
|
|
with the OPNQRYF command. For example, MBR(*ALL) causes an error message and
|
|
the file is not opened. </p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"><strong>3</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Run the OPNQRYF command, specifying the database file, member, format
|
|
names, any selection options, any sequencing options, and the scope of influence
|
|
for the opened file.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"><strong>4</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Call the high-level language program you created in step 1. Besides using
|
|
a high-level language, the Copy from Query File (CPYFRMQRYF) command can also
|
|
be used to process the file created by the OPNQRYF command. Other control
|
|
language (CL) commands (for example, the Copy File (CPYF) and
|
|
the Display Physical File Member (DSPPFM) commands) and utilities (for example,
|
|
Query) do not work on files created with the OPNQRYF command.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"><strong>5</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Close the file that you opened in step 3, unless you want the file to
|
|
remain open. The Close File (CLOF) command can be used to close the file.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm"><strong>6</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd>Delete the override specified in step 2 with the Delete Override (DLTOVR)
|
|
command. It might not always be necessary to delete the override, but the
|
|
command is shown in all the examples for consistency.</dd>
