Could someone please provide a working sample of using the stat API in an
RPG program? I've tried everything and the return code is always -1. All
other API calls (open file, read, etc.) work fine. My hunch is that the
trailing spaces in the file name are causing the problem buut I don't know
how to get around that. RPG is not my strong suit.
Any pointers are appreciated.

I have a utility to print the contents of the IFS
in varying sequences that uses 'stat'

www.brilligware.com/cp1240.html


Selected details:

d lstat pr 10i 0 ExtProc('stat')
d * Value
d * Value

*
* file status information
*
d fStat ds 128
d fStatDat 29 32i 0
d fStatSiz 45 48i 0
d fStatTyp 49 58a

* ... standalone variables ...
d fStat@ s * Inz(%Addr(fStat))


lstat( %Addr(pmpath) : fStat@ );
objTyp = fStatTyp;
objDat = fStatDat;
objSiz = fStatSiz;

pmpath is a string (null (x'00') terminated character
variable) containing the path name.
