Modifying File Attributes |
|
The FILE command declares the file attributes to be used when an existing file is opened. It can be used with KSAM XL files as well as standard files. The FILE command's keywords (;KSAMXL, ;KEY, ;FIRSTREC, ;LANG, ;REUSE, ;NOREUSE, ;OPTMBLK and ;DEFBLK) perform the same functions as they do for the BUILD command.
The FILE command can be used to override system default file specifications or specifications supplied with the HPFOPEN or FOPEN intrinsic. The new specifications remain in effect for the entire job or session unless they are revoked by the RESET command or superseded by another FILE command.
