RE: RTVRPGSRC

You might want to try asking this in the RPG list.  But, you haven't told us
whether this input file is externally described or not.  I'm guessing you're
referring to an internally described file.  Obviously, if it were externally
described, you'd have figured out where to get the field specs for that.

Also, just guessing here too, but it may make a difference whether the
program object has had observability removed.

There are decompilers out there, but they're nowhere near free.  Have you
tried dumping the program object and seeing if you can find the input specs
there?  (DMPOBJ)

How 'bout this?  (Again, a real shot in the dark, don't know if this will
work for your situation, YMMV...)  Have you considered putting a trigger on
the file?

Is there a reason why the software house *might* be hiding this information
from you?  Sounds like it might be time to make a lot of noise.

Does anybody on the list know of a (free!) RTVRPGSRC utility
OR
Is there a way I can see the 'I' specs of an RPG Program so I can
re-create the input file it's expecting? We don't have the source of the
program, and the software house in question is either being stubborn or
stupid when I ask this simple question.
