We have a number of routines where you can't capture the job before it's submitted, so don't get to run STRSRVJOB before it has done its thing and finished. I wrote a little program to send an inquiry messeage to the user the job ran under - which then waits for a reply. You include a call to the program (called 'WAIT4ME' ;-) ) at the start of the routine to debug. The inquiry message includes the STRSRVJOB JOB(...) text filled in for you to cut & paste to a command line. Once you've set up debug (because the program is already active) just reply to message and you're away. I'll post the code to the list (a few lines of CL) later on today.

The IFS is for all intents and purposes a Unix-like file system. That means that just about any C book would explain the particulars of open, read, write and close. On the 400, the Unix API manual is probably the official reference although I'd be remiss if I failed to mention the Redbook "Who knew you could do that..." When you look at any C based documentation, bear in mind the fact that C programmers use constants in system header files for things like O_TEXTDATA. You may never find a manual reference to the actual value of O_TEXTDATA; for that you'll have to poke through the C header files. They're located in QCLE and QSYSINC. The main ones are named H and SYS, although there are more than that. An alternative is to compile a C program and turn on ALL the documentation flags so you can see the includes in the listing. This may well work on a PC as well as the 400 but I'm out of my depth there...

Thus, in order to really take advantage of the documentation, you need to be capable of converting things from C to RPG. This book is called the "Integrated File System Introduction" and isn't too bad as a starting point, explaining how the IFS works and how you access it from C programs: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com:80/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QBKAUH01/CCONTENTS This book is really where the details are documented about calling the IFS functions, it's called the "Unix-Type APIs manual" Again, it assumes that you're a C programmer: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/info/apis/unix 2.htm The RPG "Who knew you could do that..." Redbook does go into actually coding some of this stuff in RPG, but probably doesn't provide the level of detail that you're looking for. If you're proficient enough in C that you can translate the code from C to RPG (including looking things up in the C header files, and using that info to make your own RPG header files) you should be able to find "all possible parameters" in the IBM manuals.

You can try specifying the name of the RPG module on the MODULE parameter of the CRTPGM command, in order to eliminate any binding directory problems. It would help if you could post some code for us to see. We don't need the body of the RPG module; just the procedure interface(s).

The RPG compiler (annoyingly, in my opinion) will capitalize all the letters in all the procedure/module/variable names as its compiling the program. Therefore, if you want to call a procedure written in RPG, you need to put the name in CAPS. Like so: CALLPRC PRC('DELETEMBR') You also need to make sure that the procedure is exported from the service program. To do this, you need to: 1) specify the EXPORT keyword on your P-spec in the RPG program. 2) If binding with EXPORT(*SRCFILE) you need to have specified your procedure with EXPORT SYMBOL(DELETEMBR) in the binding language source. 3) If binding with EXPORT(*ALL), you should be okay, as long as you fulfilled condition #1. If this doesn't help, you'll need to post the relevant code...

Scott, I haven't run across this necessity for uppercase names on CALLPRC. The following example (from a real pgm) compiles fine and resolves to the correct procedure: CallPrc WrkwSlsOrd As you've stated, the RPG compiler will export the proc name in capitalized form, so I suspect that the CLLE compiler is forcing everything to uppercase on our behalf. This works at least as far back as V4R2.
