Shannon,

This is a frequently asked question, but I have not seen a clear answer on
that.

It set me thinking, though (all, be forwarned), but perhaps you can work
something out with the mentioned API and the Operational Descriptors within
an RPGLE programmme.

I never tried anything on that, but (as I have said) I was just thinking.
