I'm not sure what you're asking?  You're writing an RPG program which
outputs to stdout, and you want to know how to redirect it in QShell?
It's done exactly the same way as redirecting anything else in QShell.
The shell doesn't know that it's an RPG program -- it just knows that the
data on descriptor 1 is stdout, and that it should be redirected...

Or, are you saying that you want the output of the C program to be piped
to the input of the RPG program, and you don't know how to read stdin?

I guess I don't understand what the diff between QShell from RPG and
QShell from C is, aside from the fact that 99% of the C programmers are
familiar with Unix-style shells and only 1% of the RPG programmers are.
