Hi,
I am trying to open a file in MVS env using C/C++ standard fopen command. Is is possible to open a file using fopen in MVS.
I tried for both a PDS member and a PS fileset, but it failed.
The command I gave was
FILE *fp = fopen("DD:NCS.DBS.TSTFLE","r"); for PS
and
FILE *fp = fopen("DD:NCS.DBS.SOURCE(TSTFLE)","r"); for PDS
they both failed.
Can anybody please help me on this???
