I don't use a service program for this, usually, instead I just use
a /COPY member that includes the various prototypes that I'd need
for accessing IFS functions.

Then, I just use the IFS functions in my program directly.

I'll agree with you that the Unix-type API's manual is completely
useless if you don't know C.  However, since I know C as well as
RPG, I find it quite useful :)

Are you interested in a non-service program example?
