as/400 programming - Indirect reference API or BIF

Asked by elauren2 in Programming for iSeries / AS400, COBOL Programming Language, RPG Programming Language

Tags: Indirect reference RPG COBOL CLP OS400

Hello, I am trying to find an easy "Tool" or function to create a variable from the contents of another variable, or do some kind of Indirect reference. I am getting the variable name by using DSPFFD in a CL. I then want to call an RPG or COBOL program that will take the value of the WHFLDE ie "CUSTNO" and get the value from the field CUSTNO in a PF. My goal is to be able to pass any file name into the CL. Any help would be much appreciated.

             dspffd   whflde = "CUSTNO"
 
PF  Custmast
      CUSTNO  10A
      Cname     20A
      Caddr      30A
