RE: IFS Reading Question....

John,

 A few things to look at.

1)  In your message you referenced both "qdls" and "QDLS".  Many (if not
all) the IFS APIs are case sensitive.  

2)  Make sure that you are trimming off the trailing blanks of the path.

3)  QDLS's file naming format is 8.3.  So to be safe, if you are using
wildcards, it would be *.*.

4)  The direction of the slashes might matter ("/" vs. "\").

Yes I am and still no go for reading it via program...  I can add and 
remove items on the directory via wrklnk  and or windows explorer...  So I 
think its not a right's issue...

Is the user the program runs under (likely you) in the system directory?
QDLS (also known as Shared Folders) requires an entry for each user
accessing it in the system directory.

Good Morning!

I have a application that reads the IFS just fine.  However when trying
to 
read under /QDLS/xxxxx  it is not working.  It finds nothing in the 
directory which I know items exist.  However those items are Folders
(Type 
= FLR).  Is this because its to old QDOC's....

As a test I changed the directory to read in the program to /tmp and it 
reads just fine but once I place the /qdls/xxxx get nothing...

Any ideas would be great....

Thanks-john
