RE: Determine IFS file type

Are you sure you don't have the source?  Lawson's idiotic patch process
requires that you manually key modifications to their source.  When we were
on Lawson 6.x on the AS/400 we had all of the apps source and much of the
environment.

You don't need a Lawson API -- you need an OS/400 API to determine whether a
file is EBCDIC or ASCII.  The API Scott suggested could be used by your
external process to select which .prt files might be processed.

We don't have the source. So that isn't possible. And there are no
documented APIs through Lawson.

I think these .prt files are created first then the spool file from that.
Lawson seems to like to make the product UNIX friendly, so they do many
things kind of backwards.
