RE: Help with data area in RPG

This is certainly getting complicated.  How about we simplify a little bit?
If the intention is to keep the location the user entered indefinitely,
create a file with fields for user and location.  The create a service
program with procedures that will update and retrieve this information.  The
actual prompt for the location could also be in the service program so a
"Change Your Location" function could be called.

What we had to do in this case (we needed to do the whole thing in RPG -
don't ask) was to use the QWCRDTAA API to read the data area. To write back
to it, we just built a string to QCMDEXC. The documentation for the QWCRDTAA
API is at:
