RE: QOpenSys access

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help on CRTDIR & CHRCURDIR, that moved me along
significantly.  Also the link to the FAQ and the links within that as well.

Based on my reading of the IFS manual, I have decided to change from using
the QOpenSys file system to the root file system, since I don't want to get
caught up in case-sensitivity issues.

Scott, what I mean by "navigate" is to be able to copy a native flat file
that contains html data to the IFS so it can be used from there.  It appears
that I need to use the CPYTOSTMF command for that.  I notice that the
CPYTOIMPF does not exist at v3r2 (the development system), but does at v4r5
(the target production system).  So I'll use CPYTOSTMF unless there's a
compelling reason not to.

In V3R2, you need Client Access or another equivalent program (I used
RUMBA) in order to access any directory of your AS/400, including QOpenSys.

Well, the CRTDIR (shortcut = MD) CL command creates folders & subfolders.
The CHGCURDIR (shortcut = CD) CL command changes your current directory.

Aside from that, I'm not sure what you mean by "navigate".  If you're
trying to create files or read a list of files from a CL program, you
probably can't...  you'll probably have to use the IFS APIs from an RPG or
C program.  (Since QSHELL didn't exist in V3R2)
