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

The C language has a capability to effect an open using the "process
large object fields specified in the program" for the UFCB. That is of
no help directly to the RPG unless the same capability is exposed via
the RPG as well, because a shared open would still fail, just like the
full open, but with the error msg CPF417C RC6 instead of the CPF428A.
And deferring the work to the C vs to the SQL is probably not
necessarily any better as a solution. And obviously, if the capability
is [were to be] exposed via the RPG, then no reason to defer to the C
[for its _Ropen lobptrs=Y capability].
