Jim,

The QSYSINC includes are an optional (but free) feature of OS/400;
option number 13, "System Openness Includes".  I'm 97% certain that the
ones you need exist at V3R7, and no doubt some of the several other
replies you're bound to get will confirm or deny this.

I don't think any of the APIs return actual pointers, though frequently
they return an "offset" to data in the structure they return.  I wonder
if you're referring to the manuals' use of "*" in the length column of
many fields?  If so, the asterisk in this case does not mean "pointer
data type", but "variable possible lengths depending on other
conditions".  The error structure, for example, can return a greater or
lesser amount of information depending on how big a field you give it to
use (and how big a field you tell it you've given it).

HTH

Cheers,

Martin.
