RE: Passing a file to a procedure

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John

Jame's C-example used the _RFILE struct and the ropen API, etc. - 
these are record-based functions for working with physical and 
display and printer (and maybe other kinds of) files in C/C++ - not 
typically for stream files, if at all - I forget. And his later post 
said he is using native RPG IO, hence, F-specs.

Regards
Vern
