gtpg2m23General Macros

FILNC-File a Record with No Release

This general macro writes a record to a file from storage. The block of storage referred to at the specified ECB data level or data event control block (DECB) is not removed from the entry control block (ECB). The control program writes the record on the duplicate copy if one exists. This macro can be used to file a record that resides in either the virtual file access (VFA) or on an external device.

The FILNC macro does not return a block of storage to any storage pool.
