Hi Brian
Not sure - I work with a set of old utilities that need to be able to
handle NULL-capable fields - have thought about SQL for that purpose.
He wants to pass some kind of reference to an opened file to another
program - then work with it - this reference is available in C -
dynamic SQL is almost too far from the metal - the underlying
structures. The _RFILE reference is actually - sorry, Paul and Jon
and Scott, if I get this a little or a lot wrong! - something like a
pointer to all the stuff related to native IO - input and output
buffers, feedback areas, etc. I've worked with them 4 or 5 years ago,
and they do give you access to lots of things you normally don't need in RPG.
My recommendation is to write what he wants in an ILE C module and
bind it into his app with procedure calls from ILE RPG.
Regards
Vern

Would Dynamic SQL provide the flexibility you need?
