RE: members in a file

I agree with you. But I was hoping to find a way, that I didn't have to install anything on the as400. But this may not be possible. I guess I'll go with the API approach, pass the file/library to my 'rpg stored procedure' scan the user space, pull what I need, and pass it pack in a resultset array.

Thank you.
Tim

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?

It has to be real-time.

And I was trying to keep all the logic, inside of my PC app.

Thanks again for your help, I may have to go that route.

The outfile, sorry. How dynamic does this need to be? You could set up a
CL
program to do the DSPFD, and then run it in the job scheduler every night.
Alternatively, you could set up a DTS package to call that same CL
program.
Then you could query the outfile with the PC after you pull it across. If
you use CPYTOIMPF to place the file into the IFS, you wouldn't even need
to
pull it to your PC. Just point your query to the folder in the IFS.

Just a thought.

To yank what file? The PF with my members? Or the OUTFILE, from the
DSPFD? I could retrieve the outfile, but then I would have to tell my PC
program to run the DSPFD command with parameters prior to the "Yank", and
I
don't know how to call the execute dspfd with the ADO provider.

Thanks, Tim

How about using file transfer to yank the file over to your PC?

That won't work for me... I'm actually trying to return the member list,
in
a C# .net program. And I just want to use the ado.net data provider. So
I
was hoping to be able to sql a table from PC app. If I was running this
on
my iseries, I would use your suggestion.

Or is someone can tell me how to do this in C# I'm open to suggestions as
well. I'm trying to avoid the ODBC, and OLE DB routes. I want to use the
managed code version of the data provider.

Thanks, Tim

DSPFD FILE(library/sourcefile) TYPE(*MBRLIST) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(library/outfilename)

Then query against library/outfilename.

Is there a table, I can SQL, that contains the member names of a pf-src
