RE: QOpenSys access

Dan,
  I've found that IFS use is almost always driven by some trading partner
requirement.  Here, we use the IFS because some telephone switches deliver
information to a stream file that genuinely has no record layout - every
record is variable in size.  There isn't a QSYS.LIB file that would work.
We've used QDLS in the past, but performance is less than stellar.  Can you
share the application that will use the IFS?

I think I'm about to learn something new, but they seem the same to me in
that regard:

mkdir '/buck'
Directory created.
mkdir '/BuCk'
Object name already exists.
mkdir '/QOpenSys/buck'
Directory created.
mkdir '/QOpenSys/Buck'
Object name already exists.

  --buck
