Identify which Program wrote IFS file

[Chosen_1]

Hi all, I am facing an issue where an IFS file is being written during a complex process but not able to see which program creates/writes to this IFS. Is there a way to use RPG/ SQL /Shell to see which program does it?

Appreciate your help.

Turn on auditing for the file? (CHGAUD).

Cheers,

Hello everybody, Someone know how to update a IFS FILE using this instruction but to change just a couple of lines not the whole file.

CALL QSYS2.IFS_WRITE('/home/MyFolder/test.txt',
'Replace line',
OVERWRITE => 'REPLACE',
END_OF_LINE => 'CRLF')

Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but an IFS file is just a big string (which can include some line breaks).
For modifying something, you may just access the IFS file with GET_CLOB_FROM_FILE or GET_DBCLOB_FROM_FILE or GET_BLOB_FROM_FILE (note you have to run it under commitment control).
Once you accessed the IFS file, you just can use SQL Scalar functions, such a REPLACE to modify your data.
