Re: Dealing with AS/400 text file io

[MaradyPrak@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

It is a text file on IFS.  I tried to use IFSFile,IFSFileInputStream,
IFSFileOutputStream, etc. but there isn't a readLine() method in these
classes.  I want to be able to read one line at a time.  With IFS file
access classes above, you can only read for a specific amount of byte at a
time not per line basis.

What type of file are you reading from?

(1) If from a stream file in the integrated file system and on the AS/400
use java.io.*.  If on a client try the Toolbox IFS classes (IFSFile,
IFSFileInputStream, IFSFileOutputStream, etc.).  They work just like the
java.io classes.

(2) If reading from a database file use JDBC or Toolbox record-level
database access.

What is the equivalent technique to read a record in AS400 Toolbox like the
java.io. readLine() method?
