It is not clear to me why you think you need to worry about column positions etc.

Any externally described file on the IBM i can be treated as a database table. So as a minimum you could perform data retrieval via a JDBC connection.

Your best bet is probably to get the JT400 toolbox *http://jt400.sourceforge.net/) and that gives you both record level and SQL access to the table.

Is there a reason why that won’t work?

Hi, as implied by the title I have to read (and use) this file (and cannot
modify it) in a Java program:

A R AF2WK TEXT('Afpds: workfile')
A*
A AWIDDOC 5 0 TEXT('Id doc')
A AWIDPAG 10 0 TEXT('Id page')
A AWIDOPE 14 0 TEXT('Id')
A AWNMOPE 20 TEXT('Operation')
A AWDSOPE 40 TEXT('Ds name')

A AWFLD 256 VARLEN(30) CCSID(1144)
A AWFLDEX 32000 VARLEN(1) ALWNULL DFT('')
A CCSID(1144)
A*
A K AWIDDOC
A K AWIDPAG
A K AWIDOPE

I use in RPG programs AWFLD and AWFLDEX as DS:

dDs_w_StampaTesto...

d ds qualified

d h like(Ubase)
Pos. Hor.
d v like(Ubase)
Pos. Ver.
d punti 4s 1
Punti, serve?
d font 8
Font
d codepage 8
Code page
d Orientamento 3s 0
0/90/180/270
d Lunghezza 3s 0
Len testo stampa
d Colore 3s 0
Colore testo

so the code is very easy:

Select;
When AWDSOPE = 'Ds_w_StampaTesto';
Ds_w_StampaTesto = AWFLD;
...
Endsl;

So my question is: how to do the same in Java with hardcoding positions,
names and types?

TIA
