RE: opendir()

We have the system() prototype and use it quite a bit here. But I have
several million files to index to a database and move from a NTFS
directory to our NAS. Invoking the command layer from within an RPG to
interpret the command string and call some program, (API), under the
covers seems like a waste of CPU cycles. Our system is lacking there
being the first generation Power5 processor @ 1.5Ghz. I expect this
job
to run for days in the background.

I'm not in a position to test this now (I wish I were - I love this stuff)
but if the API truly emulates Unix, then Qp0lRenameUnlink *should* do the
move for you. I'll try this tonight if you don't get to it first.

* Rename file (overwrite if exists)
D c_renameforce PR 10I 0 ExtProc('Qp0lRenameUnlink')

D new * Value Options(*String)
