Re: CGI Automated Documentation

Thanks to David L. Mosley, Jr. for his professionalism and great help provided
in solving our issue previously stated to the list.  The solution I used was
with the UNIX-type APIs:
1) Open directory (OPENDIR)
2) Read directory entry (READDIR)
3) Close directory (CLOSEDIR)
4) Get file or link information (LSTAT)

Basically, the whole concept was discussed in an article from the ISeries
Network (formerly AS400 Network) on the Spring of 2001 and the title is APIs BY
EXAMPLE: READING AN IFS DIRECTORY.

The link to get there is:

Thanks everybody and have a pleasant day!

In RPG you could use the unix api's to read a
directory's contents.  Then you could do whatever you
want with the file name & path.  Check the RPG archives
for opendir, readdir, closedir, lstat and/or unix-like
api's.
