OSVSREWRITE

The OSVSREWRITE option specifies whether to permit the WRITE statement for sequential files that are open for output. If so, these WRITE statements behave exactly like REWRITE statements.

Syntax:

OSVSREWRITE = { ON } { OFF }

Parameters:

ON
Permit the WRITE statement for sequential files that are open for output.
OFF
Do not permit the WRITE statement for sequential files that are open for output.

Properties:

Default: OFF

Comments:

This parameter can be set globally only; that is under the tag [XFH-DEFAULT]. You cannot set the parameter for an individual file.
