RE: MI embedded in RPG (ZMILIB/CRTRPGMI?)

He headed up a security task force that met at a COMMON meeting in Atlanta
that had those folks panties all in a twitter... :) Never forget that
conference either...stayed at a really decent hotel right across the street
for like $40/n...that was back before the punitive hotel fees...

And then, there was Steve Glanstein. I'll never forget the look on Carol
Woodbury's face when he showed her a security hole. She looked like she was
going to be physically ill.

Joe Park did the same thing - still remember him showing doubting IBMers how
he could make jobs "disappear".

We still talk periodically :)

I'll never forget some of his "white papers" on AS/400 security back a
few years ago :) Few folks at IBM and Pentasafe got a bit of a wakeup
call on those :)

Just realized for anyone that tried to follow it - the link in my
article
to
Leif's MI information no longer works - but you can find much of his
information on MI here: http://www.leif.org/as400/handout.pdf

GENOPT(*LIST) is kinda fun - I learnt about it when I was first
introduced
to System/38 back in CPF v5 timeframe. I was doing COBOL at the time -
and if anything the commenting in the generated COBOL code is even
better than for RPG.

We used to use the MI listing to help us work around the bugs in the
COBOL
compiler that we encountered while doing an NCR -> S/38 conversion.
Later when I joined IBM in 1986 the compiler team were amazed at the
number of bugs I reported within the first few months I worked there.
We'd been working round them for years but we never had the time to go
through the reporting process!

Pity something similar wasn't doable with the ILE compilers - but
that's
another story.

First of all, thanks to everyone who responded.

Jon, I had never thought to explore GENOPT(*LIST), and now that I
have, I must say I'm pretty impressed. The generated MI code even
has comments! As for the C-wrapper approach, once you mentioned it,
I started doing some more Googling and found this, which you may
find
familiar:

G-Programs/

Yeah, it's 10 years old, but that still makes it several years newer
than the program I'm dealing with.

I have follow-up comments for some of the other respondents as well,
but right now I've got to run.
