Re: Resolve pointer on ifs file

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why are you trying to resolve a system pointer to an IFS object?  Why not
use the IFS APIs?   The speed bottleneck will be in disk access, not the
cost of calling the APIs.

There was a long thread discussing IFS access on the MI400 list, back in
Dec 2001 - Jan 2002.   There wasn't much RPG involved in the discussion,
but perhaps it'll explain to you which MI functions you want to use, or
convince you to skip the MI built-ins, and go for the APIs :)

If you decide to use the APIs, I wrote an eBook on the subject which
you can find here:
