RE: Having problems accessing IFS from RPGIV

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Helps if you are familiar with C file I/O.  

I think it's the only way to get at files in the IFS through RPG without
copying them to a database file first.  I like this kind of thing because it
shows how ILE give us useful tools we never had before and enables us to use
them in a language we do know.  

The scary thing for me is that I still haven't learned to use the old tools
very well.

A mind is a terrible thing to use.
