Sorry. Meant *outfile "scrape".
Same option just different output results.
The reason is the preliminary step you have to take
outside the program to get it.

But I do like Birgitta's suggestion and it's
doable in the program.
And yes. That's what open source
is all about.
Personally I just haven't had the time
but.. maybe I can squeeze some.

Theres no print scrape in LSTFFD that I remember. It uses DSPFD to
outfile. And also uses QUSLFLD, QDBLDBR and some user space APIs.

Why use an API when DSPFD to an outfile will do. :)

I did write it 25 years ago, though.. lol Still works today and I
install it at every site I work at.

Isn't that what open source is about? Improving on it?

Brad,
Close but I think the QDBRTVFD api would
eliminate the print scrape step and would be
much quicker?

My LSTFFD sounds like it's halfway or more there. I made it open
source a while back. Sounds like a possible start.

I've always wanted a single source SFL display utility for a file

related data bases(LF, indexes,etc), and a position to field when
subfile is displayed showing all the fields.

I've looked at API QDBRTVFD, QDBLDBR to do most of the
heavy lifting instead of using the printing and scraping that most
everyone else seems to be happy with. Unless this exists somewhere
else I'd think this might be worthy.
As I close in on my retirement, I'd probably love this kind of
challenge.

An FFD on steroids, if you will.

First, I am retired. Not looking for a job, a contract or anything of
that nature.

Second, I am bored, enjoy RPG, subfiles, and the iSeries. As some of
you know, I have a web site where I show solutions to common problems.
Not particularly grand or overwhelming but it does keep me out of the
bingo halls and senior centers.

Which leads to the point of this request...

Any suggestions for problems to display, projects to develop, or
whatever? Complicated, but not too complicated, more than a quicky but
not a long drawn out thing, with some challenge but not
life-threatening. In other words. a Goldilocks project.

Thanks for any ideas that come along. :)
