That would be pretty easy I >think. This is quite easy. I had to work with some private encryption algorithms recently, and my trading partner only knew C. He gave me the C code, which I compiled on the iSeries and wrapped the low-level C functions in RPG procedures and exported the lot in a service program. The other benefit to thinking along these lines is that it is quite possible to find Linux or FreeBSD code that's already been written and tested that does exactly what you want. It's usually easy enough to port that to the iSeries and incorporate it as a service program. Search the net with http://www.google.com and see what comes up for "opendir() example". --buck
