Bob, The file is not read only. I can edit it with notepad. Have not tried Excel because the data would be unreadable to Excel. Its just 128K of hex (its a digital signature). here's the first 3 lines: MIIJkQYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIJgjCCCX4CAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3 DQEHAaCCB9MwggOyMIICmqADAgECAhA2raZAs7tESWYNgv2QAPJbMA0GCSqGSIb3 DQEBBQUAMFAxGjAYBgNVBAoTEUJhcmNsYXlzIEJhbmsgUExDMRgwFgYDVQQLEw9U (see what I mean ).

My brain must have decomposed, because I was already using the write procedure in the prog: eval rc=write(fd:%addr(data):bytecount) for small amounts of data (field data is 6000 char) & totally forgot that the Usrpace address works exactly the same way. As you say in the States; doh.... As an aside to this thread, I am experiencing a problem with the files created on the IFS by the RPG program. If I use the file creation (from Scotts's tutorials) method to create the IFS file, and then access it in Delphi programs in Windows, I get IO errors. Notepad can open the file. If the file is created initially by Windows, no problem. The CCSID and authorities (*PUBLIC) are identical between the rpg and Windows created files. This is the file creation routine: 0089.00 c eval fd = open(%trimr(AppFile): 0090.00 c O_WRONLY+O_TRUNC+O_CREAT+O_CODEPAGE: 0091.00 c file_IFSMODE:file_CODEPAGE) 0092.00 c if fd < 0 0093.00 c ** error notification 0094.00 c endif 0095.00 c callp close(fd) 0096.00 c eval fd = open(%trimr(AppFile): 0097.00 c O_WRONLY+ O_TEXTDATA) 0098.00 c if fd < 0 0099.00 c ** error notification 0100.00 c endif where (my prog) 0026.00 D File_CODEPAGE C CONST(819) 0027.00 D File_IFSMODE C CONST(511) and (from IFSIO_H) 0039.00 D O_TEXTDATA C 16777216 I then give *PUBLIC all access & rights to the data & objects (manually) Regards Ian Patterson ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Grange IT Limited tel 01947 880458 www.grangesystems.com -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Scott Klement Sent: 24 October 2004 18:08 To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: tip required to transfer large data from User Space to IFS Hi Ian, > I have created data in a User Space that can get up to 10 Meg.

If you're using the open/write/close APIs to create your stream file, you'll note that the write() API takes the following three parameters: descriptor = tells write() which open file to write to pointer = points to a spot in memory where the data you want written desides size = the number of bytes to write from that area of memory. The QUSPTRUS API retrieves a pointer to a user space. Exactly what the doctor ordered for the 2nd parameter to write()! The QUSRUSAT API can retrieve the current size of the user space, which works for the 3rd parameter. (Though, if you already know how big your data is, you won't need this API.) The following program is a trivial example. (I used IFSIO_H from LIBHTTP, since I know you have access to HTTPAPI...)
