Sheesh... judging from the reaction from the list members I should really be 
using RPG IV ;)

I don't know how.


I'm just teaching myself right now by reading other programs... the bulk of our 
programming (past and current development) is RPG/400 so that's what I'm 
learning.  I'm told that I'm free to use RPG IV... but in addition to learning 
everything I still have to get stuff done, and I've been able to do everything 
I need so far with what I'm using.  The real kicker is that everytime I need to 
look something up, all I have is an ILE reference manual, so I keep finding 
things that do exactly what I want - and I can't use them but know exactly what 
I'm missing  ;)


I think I'll make my next project my first RPG IV project....  


Thanks a bunch for everybody's help... a few different solutions there (each of 
which taught me a lot - CPYTOIMPF, RPG IV, and APIs are all both new and useful 
to me)



(BTW... I've got a solution from another developer here which is similar to the 
one given by Joel Fritz that seems to work quite well)




Thanks,
