Re: AS/400 C and record I/O

[pytel@xxxxxxxxxx]

Have a look at "#pragma mapinc" compiler directive in "ILE C Programmer's
Guide".
It will generate a struct declaration for a record of externally described
file.

Subject:  AS/400 C and record I/O





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...
