Peter,

Is this a simple basic user ASP or an independent user ASP? (IASP)

I don't believe you should have an issue with a simple basic user ASP,
but with an IASP, you need:
/asp_name/QSYS.LIB/EMP.LIB/PAY.FILE/TAX.MBR

According to this:

HTH,

We don't have user ASPs set up so, apologies, but I'm not able to answer
this question for myself by testing things out and I'm having difficulty
finding the answer online.

One of our tools, which is used 99% of the time to access stream files in
the IFS, also supports the use of the /QSYS.LIB naming format to allow
processing of members in physical files.  This works fine most of the time.

However, a customer of ours has a case where this is returning a "not found"
condition (errno 3025 message id CPE3025) on a particular member, which
definitely exists. This is coming back from a call to the lstat API.

Doing a WRKLNK '/QSYS.LIB/LIBRARY.LIB/FILENAME.FILE/MEMBER.MBR' also fails
to find the member.

The only thing I can see that is any way "special" here is that the library
in question is in a user ASP. I believe that to access an IFS directory in a
user ASP you need to mount a UDFS over the directory, and refer to directory
using the /dev/QASPxx etc. naming convention, so I'm wondering whether the
/QSYS.LIB naming convention won't work on libraries in user ASPs? Can anyone
confirm or deny that theory? It seems unlikely to me but I'm beginning to
clutch at straws here.

If it it the case that you can't using /QSYS.LIB naming in this instance,
since it does not appear to be possible to mount a UDFS over a multi-member
file (i.e. treat it as a directory), is there any way to use IFS-style
naming to refer to a member in a file in a library in a user ASP? Is there
some naming trick I'm missing, maybe including the ASP name in the path
somehow?
