Note:
1 This function is not supported for files opened with type=record.
Note:
2 This function is not supported for files opened with type=record and mode=ab+, rb+, or wb+.
Note:
3 The ILE C compiler only supports fully buffered and line-buffered streams. Since a block and a line are equal to the record length of the opened file, fully buffered and line-buffered streams are supported in the same way. The setbuf() and setvbuf() functions have no effect.
Note:
4 This function is not available when LOCALETYPE(*CLD) is specified on the compilation command.
Note:
5 This function is available only when SYSIFCOPT(*IFSIO) is specified on the CRTCMOD or CRTBNDC command.
Note:
6 This function is not available when either LOCALETYPE(*CLD) or SYSIFCOPT(*NOIFSIO) is specified on the compilation command.
