I may be on the brink of becoming poor, but considering that I'm not mute,
I'm not "dumb", and I may also be ignorant, but I'm not stupid. Ignorance
can be fixed, but as Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid".
Charles -
I found an example. I will be putting it into a service program, but I
needed the code for a quick-and-dirty utility that needed to be installed
/today/, and yes it was capturing the library list at the start of the
program so that I could restore it just before the program ends.
I still find the documentation somewhat confusing.
I'll post a further question/comment with sample code tomorrow with the hope
that maybe one of you "geniuses" can enlighten me and wake up some of those
ignorant brain cells...

I note that the authors have taken pity on poor dumb RPG programmers
by providing RPG-specific information. Users of other languages must
fend for themselves (although I'm sure previous documentation had a
nice table mapping API data types to specific language data types but
I can't find it any longer--it was useful so it probably got removed).
What is it that you find so difficult to understand? Serious question.
I find the API documentation to be clear and concise.
...for some examples. IBM do not provide examples for ALL the APIs. There
are sufficient examples for you to extrapolate from one to your
specific requirements. I never understood the constant cry for an
example of such-and-such API to do xyz when the documentation itself
is sufficient or similar examples can be found by searching.
