Perhaps you and I come from different worlds. I am thinking "pc app"
typically denotes a different developer than the person who traditionally
develops the server applications. Thus your average pc app developer may
be looking for something like you were looking for originally - a nice
SYS* type of table (or view) that would return them a list of members.
Thus the server developer's assignment would be to develop something that
would either create that table, or, return result sets that the pc app
developer could get via a stored procedure. Thus, I would try to do more
of this on the server and not within the PC app.
Now, whichever method you use I strongly recommend that you do NOT use a
DSPFD to an output file. Instead, search the various API's and use those
instead. The reason that I am suggesting this is, when you upgrade your
version of i5/os, do you really want to have to debug a client based
application that is blowing up because the layout of the output file
changed? And, do you want to support two versions - one for your test
lpar on FutureVersion and your production lpar on CurrentVersion?
