OK - in addition - you use the IFS no matter what. It's how the AS/400 is now compatible with multiple "lifestyles" and merges the 'classic' object management features like security into the UNIX like storage facilities that are available on the AS/400. IFS is becoming more "native" then saving within the libraries that we know and love. This is essentially the replacement to the QDLS file system or "Shared folders" support. Now - the other thing, is this area also gets backed up differently - as in SAV instead of SAVOBJ when you want to save objects within this environment. Web technologies, Unix compatibility, and Windows compatible - the IFS is VERY flexible.

The IFS starts at the root "\" much like your c drive "c:\". But from the root it goes into the different file systems. For example: \QIBM.LIB\MYLIB.LIB - MYLIB.LIB would be an object within the traditional library file structure as we have come to know. \QNTC - The QNTC file system provides access to data and objects that are stored on a local or remote Integrated Netfinity Server running Windows NT 4.0 Server or higher. \myfolder - This is a folder that I could create from windows explorer and store all of my M$ Word documents on it if I wanted to. Those are just some examples of what file systems now reside on the AS/400. The IFS has been available since V3R1.

Could someone possibly give me a high level explanation of what this is and the benefits?
