Re: QTEMP type and subtype

Simon,

Thank you for the additional information about types and subtypes. Since I
just wanted to materialize an object or space pointer it seems that internal
object types are not involved. Actually I just wanted to get the object name
of the user space used by the SEU exit program since I did not want to hard
code it in the exit program. So I decided to write a little RPG function
f_matObjPtr() to do that job.

By the way do you know what is at position 21-30 in the generalized object
name of the _Gen_Mat_ID_T structure?
