Hi.

I want to create a crude "how is the system" monitor for long time production surveillance as an extra tool complementing the native AS/400 tools, and to learn more about the system.

My initial idea was to examine WRKSYSSTS values by calling the underlying QWCRSSTS API, and it quickly turned out that the simplest way to manipulate the binary structures is to use the corresponding PCML file with the ProgramCall* methods instead of building everything by hand. Unfortunately it also turned out that I could not locate a suitable source for API PCML files - you are basically told to generate them when compiling your own files but IBM apparently have hidden their own PCML files so well that I could not find them. The obvious place would be at the "API finder"-page in the infocenter either with each API or as a general download.

What is your usual approach to getting these PCML files for a given OS/400 release? I am thinking in terms of "given any API name, please return the corresponding PCML file"?

I will appreciate any pointers.
