RE: A Library is an IFS Directory???

Go into Windows Explorer and take a peak at Network Neighborhood.  You
should see an icon for any AS/400's that you have setup in Client Access in
there.  When you click on that link you now have access to the AS/400's many
file systems.  QSYS.LIB is the file system that we have all come to know
real well with the Library structure and all, but the rest of the IFS is
basically folder driven and you can dig down multiple levels unlike the
QSYS.LIB structure.

If I have said anything out of turn somebody please correct me,

Using WRKLNK. or within QSHELL, or in FTP if you set name format to 1,
you can address a library called MYLIB as /QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB.  QRPGSRC
within it, containing a member called PROGRAM would be
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/QRPGSRC.FILE/PROGRAM.MBR.  It's not case sensitive,
so all that could equally be in lower case.

_Everything_ is in the IFS ;-)

Cheers,

Martin.
