Re: Data structure changes in QSYSINC?

Folks:

How often have you run into changes to the data structures in QSYSINC/QRPGLESRC, that causes existing code to fail to compile, and what is the best way to rectify the situation?

I just ran into a situation where one of the structures for the QSQGNDDL api changed and a program no longer compiles due to missing fields.

It last compiled on 7.1 without a problem.

Luckily, for this particular API, there is an official UDF that provides the desired functionality ... but I'm kind of concerned that this might happen with other API's that there isn't an alternative for.

Thanks!
