IBM Toolbox for Java Example: Using Record-level Access Classes


Example: Using record-level access classes to read records from a file

Note: Read the Code example disclaimer for important legal information.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Record-Level Access example.  This program uses the record-level
// access classes to read records from a file on the system.
//
// Command syntax:
//    java RLReadFile system
//
// This program reads the records from CA/400's sample database file
// (QCUSTCDT in library QIWS).  If you change this example to update
// records you should make a copy of QCUSTCDT and update the copy.
//
// This source is an example of IBM Toolbox for Java "Record-level access".
