RE: freopen() and IFS

Thanks for the response Simon.  

When I use the *NOIFSIO option, stdout is written to 
my QSYS file without any problem (i.e. MYLIB/MYFILE(MYMBR)).  
It seems that the IFS options (*IFSIO, *IFS64IO) are the ones 
that are failing.  It's strange because the IFS file is created 
successfully but stdout is still directed to the console.  

I'm trying to avoid running the program from a qshell like
"mypgm > out" just to override stdout/stderr.  

Could PASE help out here?  I'm wondering if this is an ILE issue.

Just for kicks, here is my sample program.

=======================================
void main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   FILE *fpOutStream;

   fpOutStream = freopen("/tmp/test.out", "a", stdout);

   if( fpOutStream == NULL ) 
   {
           printf("Failed to open standard output stream!");
           return;
   }

   fprintf(stdout, "This is written to stdout!\n" );

   fclose(fpOutStream);
}
=======================================

Thanks again Simon.
Jason

Hello Jason,

Ensure you compile with SYSIFCOPT(*IFSIO). You can also use *ALL or 
*IFS64IO. If you do not do this then I/O is mapped to QSYS.LIB file for 
historical reasons.

Simon Coulter.
