It is possible to use 2 files in CL program, whether one is a display file and
the second is data base file.
You must associate data queue with display file and not to declare it. The
second file you may declare as usual.
Sources of such a program are available.

And to add on to Paul's repsonse the file can only be used to for read
purposes only. You cannot write to the file you use.

Did you remember old WRTSRC TAATOOL command? Have you heard about any
other stuff like this to write physical files within CL programs?
I've been using query management to accomplish but it sucks.

However their might be workarounds, I guess it's not worth the trouble.
Once I need some files, I move to ILE-RPG. I even tend to do so for CLs
that just need a display file, however it's a personal opinion.
Kind regards,
Paul

In a pinch, I have a couple commands using QLGSORT & QLGSRTIO as CPPs. Each
is used in conjunction with an additional command that loads the control
blocks. These allow me to receive "records" directly into CL variables or
write them to an output file. Seldom useful, but they work. They don't use up
a valuable DCLF and they can be used multiple times at different points in
the code.
So, there are workarounds. But I wouldn't recommend it unless it's somehow
absolutely required, such as when you can't guarantee a particular compiler
will be available. Come to think of it, you might even be able to use REXX,
but...
