Why not use the tmpnam() function? It creates a temporary, guarenteed unique, filename. You should be able to just pass that name to mkdir() to create a directory with that name.
This is true when programming in RPG as well as C. --- Scott Klement http://www.scottklement.com On Fri, 7 Jul 2006, James H H Lampert wrote:
I'm faced with a need for a temporary working directory in the IFS. The last time I needed a temporary IFS object, I was working in RPG, and simply used the qualified jobname from the program status data structure. But I'm doing this one from C, and I don't see any documented way for C (or anything else other than RPG) to access the PSDS. Anybody know of a way (i.e., an easier way than calling QUSRPGMI) to get the even just the job number from outside of RPG? Or any other easy way to get a unique name for an IFS object? -- JHHL -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
