I am migrating a couple of CL programs into our service programs. Most of
the CL commands I am handling using the C function system(), but in a couple
of instances I need access to CL variables that are returned by the
commands.
The simplest one, returns the library of a file using RTVMBRD. I have done
some looking into the APIs and know I could use QDFRTVFD, but by all
accounts it is the most complicated API to manage. I was able to get
QUSROBJD to work, so this is handled.
All this experimentation got me wondering of there might be a simpler way to
access returned CL variables... Or will we always need to either us a CL
program or APIs?
I have looked into just creating CL modules and attaching them to the
Service Program, but each CL module would need to be contained in its own
source file, right? I like being able to have many procedures in a single
module (RPG ILE), if for no other reason than simplicity.
