I do
not see anyone replying to this as of yet - So I will be the first to offer my
take on your question...
This
is only my thoughts and I am in no way an expert - I have never heard of anyone
attempting what you want to do -
The
API's and even the qcmdexec are there to make RPG more robust and modern,
without them, you simply have the
original report program generator, not of great use in today's world of
gui, html, and communicating with various machines.
What
you ask is if I remember back about 10 years is very possible, however I have
forgotten those old techniques and
now
use the modern easy way out (that is what the API's are there for, to make our
life easier)
Way
back then I do recall doing something with a ICF file or some such odd thing to
a main frame, but it was a really pain
in the
back side, and sometimes did not work right - hopefully there is another old
timer that can still remember those days
on
this list; but I have to admit, I would go for the API's long before attempting
to stay away from them, even a simple call
to a
C/L that does the FTP is much more efficient.
I wish
you luck and hopefully someone else here has a better memory than
myself.
