RE: IFS File > 2 GB

The light goes on!

When you said you were using open I thought you were using open :) but 
what you're really using is the Integrated File System fopen API option 
from C runtime.  In that case fopen64 should be sufficient (and you do 
need QC2LE).

RE: IFS File > 2 GB






Bruce, The current example show the prototype as follows.

     D open            Pr              *   ExtProc( '_C_IFS_fopen' )

     D                                 *   Value Options( *String )

     D                                 *   Value Options( *String ) 

Remember I am using examples and if there is a better way then I would 
love
to know it.

Basically rather than using open() you use open64(), creat() becomes
creat64(), etc.  These '64' APIs are all in the Information Center under
Integrated File System APIs.

IFS File > 2 GB






I have just started writing a program that uses C funtions to write to the
IFS. I have read where the IFS has a limit of 2 GB unless you specify 
Large
File type. Could someone supply me with an example of how this looks in 
the
RPGLE program.

Thanks
