Re: IFS (integrated file system) question

Thanks Bob. I was hoping that was going to be your answer, hopefully IBM
will make this a priority for the next release. We are an ISV and the QSH
solution really wouldn't work because all of our clients would have to have
the QSHELL interpreter installed, which some do not. I guess I'll have to
wait for IBM to add this functionality.

Thanks for you input!

Tony,

I offered up the QSH solution because it required no programming.

I don't think IBM feels that the functionality is not needed. Instead,
the need is recognized, but resources have been applied to other higher
priority projects.
