Re: mi access to a dtaara

["Steve Richter" <srichter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for the feedback.

Any response that does not repeat itself now goes down the "should os/400
provide the 2nd level api's that many shops wind up writing or using
taatools for" path.  I vote YES and will leave it at that.

Now if anyone wants to discuss the microsoft .NET approach ....

.NET provides a class and member function interface to the os. To relate it
to my data area issue, the os would provide a DataArea class. The class then
has member functions like Crt, Dlt, Rtv, Chg, Lock, ...  All programs that
run on a windows .NET pc have access to the class.  Not bad for a company
that critics say does not innovate.
