RE: **IFS**

I have a question...
Does anyone want to access IFS files from within RPG?
I don't just mean by prototyping the C/Unix APIs, but in a robust
RPG-like manner?
I'm thinking along the lines of ext files for storing simple values,
perhaps as a replacement for data areas and control database files.

Is this something that is important? A survey I took recently indicated
that most people store HTML files as well as some type of data in the
IFS.
