Hi,
I currently need to be able, from within an RPG program, to retrieve the
'text' (description) from an RPG program via the name of that rpg program
(taken from a report splf attributes).

I'd like to use the text from a (splf) report-generating RPG program as an
"on-the-fly"  default name for the report generated by that program.

I know I could DSPOBJD to a file, then use the ODOBTX field for this, but
does anyone know of an API or something that will allow me to get this more
directly (more effeciently)?

TIA
