Wow! GDDM! There's a blast from the past!!

I don't think anyone still uses GDDM, so I don't think you're likely to find modern examples, sorry. Indeed, I would suggest taking an existing old (RPG III or Cobol maybe) example to see if it even still works -- I have a feeling it'll be difficult to find a terminal capable of running it today.

Consider using a web interface, much more powerful and versatile.

Hello,

I'm considering to try out GDDM in C on my V4R5 box, but I can't find associated include files:
- Not in QGDDM
- Not in QSYSINC/H

Manuals from IBM about GDDM on OS/400 are rather dated. The most current I'm aware of is from 1994 (SC41-3717-00, OS/400 GDDM Programming V3R1). It only mentions (classic, non-ILE) RPG, COBOL, BASIC (yuck!), PL/I, and Pascal.

It's hard to find related information, since most GDDM content in the web is about mainframe platforms.

Do I need to make up my own prototypes to use the *PGM objects in QGDDM from C? Or do I overlook something?
