RE: API's for various commands

You can't do a lot of what you want with APIs and RPG.
Did you know in V5R3 that CL now supports more structured programming
constructs? You have the equivalent of the Select/When statement in CL for
ILE in V5R3.
I'm like you, however, if I can find a way to do it with RPG, I'll avoid CL
at _any_ cost.

Subject: API's for various commands

Hi group,

I'm trying to make kind of a change management command that would enable 
us to promote sources and objects from our development library to the test 
or production library.

Of course I could do this in a CLLE program, using CPYF, CRTDUPOBJ etc, 
but I would like to do this in RPGLE using API's.  Not only do I like RPG 
more than CL, but it gives me more versatility do do SELECT's instead of 
numerous IF's, etc.

Are there API's that allow you to, for instance, move an object, move a 
member (or copy + delete it), change the source type of a source member?

The API finder over at the InfoCenter didn't list anything like this.

Thanks in avance,
