RE: Search for SELECT / FROM parameters in a CGI source from RPG

[Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx]

"Generally I would say that if your
program can read the directory it can do an open() on the file.  If that
doesn't work in this instance, perhaps you could you describe the
environment a bit more to help us understand your requirements better."

I am growing in my understanding of working with IFS obviously, I am still on
that stage.   Simply stated, I want to be able, from an RPG program, to search
on a specific folder (where my CGI sources are) and look within the source for
the SELECT/FROM constants.  This will help me prepare a dynamic documentation of
all my CGI sources and the files that are in use in each one of them.

I was wrong when I described my scenario thinking that these objects are not in
the AS400.  What I meant to say is that I have not created a database file and
have a member for each CGI source and do a SCAN on it.  This was my first plan.
However, I do know now that I can do what I want by using a read() API to read a
stream file content.   I am working with that potential solution right now.

Thank you guys for your advices and recommendations.
