Tim's example will do the trick, just uses
/QNTC/WinServerName/Sharename/directory as the value for PATHTOLIST.

But this thread would be more appropriate for RPG-L.

I haven't directly read the IFS from in RPG before. Yes, I'm really

the in my programming skills here.

So any examples would be appreciated.

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?
