RE: RPG-FREE calling CL program

Bruce,
If you don't want to write wrapper CL program around the RTVNETA command,
you could use the C functions (that wrap the MI instructions) or the RPG
xTools service program to get the network attributes. For example:

      /COPY qcpysrc,sysvalue
.....DName+++++++++++EUDS.......Length+TDc.Functions+++++++++++++++++++
     D SysName         S             10A   
     D SrlNbr          S             10A   
.....CSRn01..............OpCode(ex)Extended-factor2++++++++++++++++++++
     C                   eval      SysName = GetSysName()
     C                   eval      SrlNbr = GetSrlNbr()

Your correct I have never used it for anything else but to call a
program passing parms or a command passing parms never expecting to
receive a value back.

This won't work. system() and QCMDEXC and QCAPCMD can run only those 
commands that have ALLOW(*EXEC) specified. No RTVxxx command has 
ALLOW(*EXEC). Think about it ... you are passing a character string to 
system() ... how do you suppose it will address a variable?
