RE: Use of the IFS

Why does the "small amount of code" matter? I've used Scott's tutorial to excellent results in the few instances that I've needed to use the non-QSYS portion of the IFS (aka stream files, etc.).

Agreed. So when we talk about " Writing to the IFS" we are referring to going from the i not writing Data from the PC to the i?

In this reagrd, is there any code I can see that writes to the IFS from the i?

I have seen some of Scott Klements work but the IFS Tutotial while is excellent has just a small amount of code.

Everything Rob and I were just talking about is on the PC - nothing on
the i - so neither CL nor RPG. We are talking about automatic conversion
when opening an i physical file member using Notepad or some other
Windows application. So I guess I'm getting confused - not surprising
today!

I did try opening a non-source PF member - got same thing as Rob. Tried
to open a user space after putting an appopriate extension in - it did
not get converted.

The waters are getting murky!! And it's only the first work day of the
new year!!

All of this then would be done in CL only, not RPG?

That only works for source physical files.  I want data physical files.
