iSeries / AS400 FAQ : (Category) Programming : (Category) RPG : What is the file information data structure?
The File information data structure is the way the RPG runtime environment informs the program about the status of a file, seen from the operating system perspective. Sometimes called a feedback data structure, it is updated after every I/O operation (RPG IV) or after a block of records is transferred (RPG/400). Information can be found in the RPG reference under File and Program Exception/Errors.
