bing!! It has all the structures you need for the fixed parts of the
returned information. You have to look at the documentation in
InfoCenter, in order to find out which format returns library list
information - then you can /copy that member, set up some pointers,
there you go.

If you like the vomit-inducing field names used by the QSYSINC RPG includes. I don't, and since IBM haven't seen fit to generate proper RPG IV includes (they just convert the RPG/400 ones) I generate my own from the C includes. Long names, more appropriate data types, proper prototypes, etc. I suggest that anyone attempting to use APIs does the same. By all means use the IBM includes as a starting point but you can do so much better.
