Hi Tim

Then look at Scott's link - I recommend NFS - you use the MOUNT command on iSeries to make it see the NFS server - your NT machine - as a native IFS stream file. You read things just like you are doing now.

When you say NT, are you really saying NT, or something like Win 2000 or XP or 2003? We have a knowledge base article for setting up NFS on a Windows box - not sure if it includes NT or is for later versions of Windows - and I'd be glad to send it to you. Email me at vern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - this would not be an attempt to get business - just a friendly sharing of information.

I will try to clarify.

We have folders/files that exist on an NT server. From the iseries via rpg,
I would like to be able to read the NT server directories, and open the
files in there. For example, I would like to see if a file exists in a
specific directory, and if it does, open it with its corresponding pgm (such
as Adobe, Word, Excel, etc) or, read it as a stream file.

I am currently reading stream files located in the IFS, and would love the
same ability with file located on the NT server (non iseries platform).

I hope this make some more sence.
