RE: Retrieving member names

["Compton, John" <john.compton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Loyd,

You can use the DSPFD command to send a list of the files members to an
outfile and then read through the generated file, or you can use an API
to generate a list of the file's members to a user space and process the
list of members from there.

For the API's refer to "OS/400 Object APIs "
