Re: CPF428A on a JDE Table

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a wild toss - since almost all the C functions can be run in 
RPG, they could be used for RLA instead of F-specs. That is something I 
was considering to update an old utility by a fellow named Monypenny for 
generic file handling - his stuff didn't handle null-capability, etc.

Granted, C-level RLA is not as much fun as native RPG, but it does work. 
And I'd like to think we can call those routines in RPG, just as we can 
for everything else we can do.

Cheers
