But when it comes to I/O operations to IFS files, we decided that we really couldn't improve on the current scheme much. Having IFS specific opcodes in the language doesn't provide much of an improvement over coding API calls. I don't want to get too much into specifics, but IFS files tend to be stream files with varying length records. This type of file is not a very good fit with RPG's file model. If you really wanted to use RPG opcodes for processing an IFS file, you could code a SPECIAL file. >When will we be seeing another survey? Don't know. Results from the last survey already could give us enough work for a couple of releases. If you have any new suggestions for enhancements, we're always interested. Cheers!
