RE: Openness Includes

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

Bruce's book was one of a handful I brought with me on my first day here!  

Some API examples that I have found on the 'Net show the interfaces, others
just show the /copy.

If you feel you must eliminate some stuff from QSYSINC, then keep H, 
MIH, QRPGLESRC, QRPGSRC (maybe!!), STD, and SYS - others may mention 
something absolutely necessary, but these are what I use a lot - H and 
MIH give me information that the RPG* ones won't, because not all APIs 
are converted to RPG* format.

You could put the rest on tape, or maybe all, then restore what you need 
when you are compiling something - the QRPGLESRC members are there to be 
used with /copy or /include, so you can probably find suitable 
replacements with google - and Bruce Vining's book has a lot of stuff, 
maybe enough. You can always build them by hand from the API 
documentation, once you master Bruce's stuff.   :-)
