Problem:

Releases 4.0 5.0:

As part of the execution of an application it might be neccessary to force the application to re-read the File handler Configuration Parameters file.

For more details on how to use the File Handler configuration file check the File Handler programming guide, chapter 6.

Resolution:

To accomplish this you can use the CBL_CFGREAD_EXTFH call.

The call forces the File Handler to reread its configuration file.

Syntax:

call "CBL_CFGREAD_EXTFH" using     filename

                      returning status-code

Parameters:

filename pic x(n).

status-code See Key

On Entry:

filename The file to look for. The name can contain a path, and must be terminated by a space. If the filename is null (x"00"), the File Handler looks for the file using the standard search order (see the topic Searching Conventions Used for Calling Programs).

On Exit:

None.

Comments:

When the File Handler rereads the configuration file, it ignores any striping parameters in the file
