Which programming language? In C/C++, declare a struct with the one from the QSYSINC as the first element, than add the variable-length items at the end. This is instead of completely copying the includes/copy members into your code and having to do it again after an upgrade. Of course, the analogous use of /COPY may not work in RPG(LE), since you can't use a data type the same way, right? Or has this changed? In C/C++ struct { IBM_struct element1; datatype your_element1; .. .. } struct_name; I think. > Does anyone have a good example of using QUSRSPLA - one that works even > after OS upgrades.
