Joe: Care to share an example?
The RTVMBRD command gets me where I initially where I wanted to go
(thanks Gary and Chuck) but now I am intrigued by the other fields in
the API such as Logical vs. physical, etc.
Why I did not think of the RTVMBRD command is beyond me, I got so tied
up in wanting to use the API I did not think of it. I also did not
think to use QADBXREF (thanks Bill)
Thanks.
