Hello Heba,

You wrote (on RPG400-L):
>Is there any command / work around that can retrieve the elementary 
>imbedded partlists within a partlist  ( I need to know only the names of 
>the of the imbedded partlists) not to expand the partlist.

The RTVPARTINF command will return the real library, object, and object 
type used to store a part.  A PARTL part is implemented as a physical file 
with three fields:
        LITYPE  CHAR(10) 
        LIPART  CHAR(10)
        LIINFO  CHAR(80)

The file is based on the template file QALYPRTL in QADM and the first two 
fields form a unique key.

You could invoke RTVPARTINF to determine the real file name from a CL 
program.  Then call an HLL program passing those parameters.  The HLL 
would declare the QALYPRTL template file as user-open, issue an OVRDBF to 
the correct file, open it and do a direct read (CHAIN and then READE in 
RPG) in a loop looking for the value PARTL in the field LITYPE.

Although you said you didn't need to expand the embedded PARTL parts, that 
could easily be accomplished by calls to RTVPARTINF for each PARTL part in 
the file.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
