RE: qsys2.IFS_OBJECT_STATISTICS won't return anything under /QNTC. Other SQL options?

I also found Carsten Flensburg's CHGIFSATR (Change IFS Attributes) command/program. I compiled it and tried to change the Read Only attribute on one of the directories under /QNTC/. It returned an error CPD0085 "Range of parameter CCSID does not include 0." It turns out that directories created under /QNTC/ are "assigned" a CCSID = 0.

Command RTVDIRINF also ignores anything under /QNTC/.

Subject: qsys2.IFS_OBJECT_STATISTICS won't return anything under /QNTC. Other SQL options?

IBM docs says: "No rows are returned for remote file system objects. This means that for the QNTC file system, only a row for /QNTC is returned."

I need to find all the directories under /QNTC. Am I limited to "DSPLNK OBJ('/qntc/*') OUTPUT(*PRINT) OBJTYPE(*ALLDIR) DETAIL(*NAME) DSPOPT(*ALL)", then copying the spool file to disk and reading that?

I did see an idea (IBMI-I-2844) submitted by Darren Strong 4 years ago, which has been under "Future consideration" for 3 years. Yay?

Per Rob's response to Darren, I found the Qp0lGetAttr API and then found Scott Klement's headers for this. Great, but holy smokes, after reviewing the Qp0lGetAttr prototype and the Qlg_Path_Name_t and Qp0l_AttrTypes_List_t data structure definitions, I feel like DSPLNK, CPYSPLF, and querying the outfile (and hope there are no really long directory names) is the way to go.

Has anyone already invented this wheel and would they be willing to share?
