I should have been more specific. Yes, a directory on a windows file
server.

I haven't directly read the IFS from in RPG before. Yes, I'm really behind
the in my programming skills here.

So any examples would be appreciated.

Subject: RE: Can I read a Windows Directory from an RPG program?

He wants me to directly read the Windows Directory from the RPG
program.

Define "Windows Directory". Do you mean a directory on a windows file
server somewhere in the enterprise? Something you'd get to from your
desktop as \\windows-server-name\share-name\directory\file.jpg?

If so, if it's setup correctly, you should be able to read that same
directory from the i (in RPG) just like you'd read any other directory
in the IFS by putting /QNTC/ at the beginning. That is, from RPG (or
WRKLNK, or whatever) that same path should be
/QNTC/windows-server-name/share-name/directory/file.jpg.

Make sense?
