Re: No %editc in V3R2!!!

Dale,

Not quite.  V3R2 and V3R7 are parity releases for OS functions, but the compiler
parity is between V3R2 and V3R6 (all the compilers, not just RPG).  Since V3R7
is where %editc/%editw were added (along with numerous other things), they do
not exist at V3R2.  OTOH, changes to OS/400 such as CHGPF SRCFILE() or ADDPFTRG
ALWREPCHG(*YES) happened at both V3R2 and V3R7.

Try the "OS/400 Edit Function APIs" manual, which is online at:
 
 V3R2:  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QBJAMH00/CCONTENTS

 V4R4: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AMH03/CCONTENTS

and other release exist too.  I highly recommend the index to IBM's books
maintainted by AS400Network (i.e. News/400) at
http://www.as400network.com/index400/

I usually find it much easier to navigate than IBM's own site.

You may want to start with some code snippets IBM publishes at
http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/workshop/snippets/snippet1.htm

then select RPG Source for the programming language.  Among other things it will
have samples for XXXEDTCOD and XXXEDTWRD, which will do what you want.

>(One problem I have is that I've got V3R2, but no manuals or softcopy for it.  

But you obviously have internet access, since you posted to this forum. <g>  All
the V3R2 manuals are also available online.  Try the index I referenced above.
