RE: IFS File > 2 GB

For FILEA.txt I would just use the open (or open64) API and not bother 
with the C fopen library function at all.  And FILEB would just be an F 
spec.

You should be able to find lots of examples in the archives for open (the 
System API open that is) :)

Thanks,
Bruce

RE: IFS File > 2 GB






What I would like to do is create a file(FILEA.txt) in the IFS. Open it.
Read from another file(FILEB) that is in a native library like QGPL and
populate FILEA.txt with the contents of QGPL/FILEB.

I really appreciate the help. This is new for me and you guys have been
great.

Thanks

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
