Re: AS/400 C and record I/O

[dennis.e.lovelady@xxxxxx]

Hi, Buck:

It requires two steps, but I don't have access to any of the code right
now.  Basically, it's close to:

#include <decimal.h>
#pragma mapinc my_struct (don't remember the rest of the syntax, but this
includes file/format name)

#include my_struct

HTH

I am passingly familiar with C on the AS/400, and use it for utility-type
stuff (especially with IFS files).  A colleague of mine is fluent in C, and
would like to read an externally described file using _Rreadf, etc.  We can
get the file to open and actually print the buffer (fp->in-buf).  Is there
an easy way to map this buffer to the externally described field specs, or
do we have to manually describe the structure?  The C manual is less than
illuminating...
