Re: Complete subfile program supported in C++

Hi Thomas

Well, I don't know if I can agree that *...one should be able...* to use any supported language on i to work with subfiles. Hey, how about MI?

Just kidding! I often do say *a language is a language is a language* to mean basically what you say. At the same time, some languages are designed to make certain kinds of programs easier to write. Such is the case with RPG and business applications. COBOL might be a 2nd choice. Oh - I forgot to mention that you can write full-function display apps in CL, right? I've come to a place where I want to take my time with things that most easily accomplish what I want to get done.

Just thoughts!

Will repost under the C language area. Just because I want to be able to do

One should be able to take any display file that supports subfiles and call
it from
COBOL
RPG
C++
any other supported language off the IBM Power i, AS400, or IBM i Series

In my experience, people don't typically write subfiles in C/C++ - these
languages are usually used to write system tools and the like rather
than business applications.

Of course, you can do the same thing in C++ that you would do in any
other language -- so find an RPG or Cobol example and just do the C/C++
equivalent -- that's what I'd do. The _Ropen routine and all of it's
related functions provide the same functionality as the corresponding
RPG native I/O routines, so a couple of minutes looking them over in the
manual is typically all you need.

Strongly recommend that you join and ask your question in the C400-L
mailing list if you need deeper discussion.

Capacity. Does anyone have a full subfile in C++
