Re: API - QDCRDEVD/DEVD1100 layouts

Jim

Many of the data structures for APIs are contained in source file QSYSINC/QRPGLESRC - albeit kind of ugly as to names - they are generated using a tool that Bruce Vining, formerly of IBM, wrote. You CAN use /copy with them, but there are often extra things you need to do. But QDCRDEVD was pretty plain vanilla, as I recall.

You will want a nice prototype, too - I suggest googling for "qdcrdevd prototype" - several of the list members have published their efforts, to the benefit of us all.

Finally, if you've not done so, take a look at the stuff under Programming->APIs at InfoCenter - there're some very important bits about the whole underlying concepts and structure.

Working with API's on the iSeries, is there any easy way to get the
format layouts for input (ok "D" specs)?
