Re: Using API's ?

["Eric N. Wilson" <doulos1@xxxxxxxx>]

I have learned my lesson about creating my own headers for API's, I will
give you a hint "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT". Early on in the development of
APIs on the AS/400 (V3R1???) IBM had the fields to a certain API defined one
way then on the next release certain very important fields changed their
lengths/types. Now I know that that is not to ever happen again but just to
be safe I will continue to ?COPY QSysInc/QRPGLESRC,xxxxx just safer all
around.
