Hi John
You can use RPG to read stream files
Look at this web page
https://www.rpgpgm.com/2016/03/a-better-way-to-read-file-in-ifs-with.html<https://www.rpgpgm.com/2016/03/a-better-way-to-read-file-in-ifs-with.html>

Alan, did you not see that *I* provided that very link in *my* post?

Those are not the APIs I was asking about. Brad asked what the
difference is between those APIs (mentioned in that article) and
"other IFS APIs that are well documented".

What I wanted to know was which ones Brad meant by "other IFS APIs
that are well documented". And he gave me the answer. Namely, the ones
that Scott talks about here:

https://www.scottklement.com/rpg/ifs_ebook/<https://www.scottklement.com/rpg/ifs_ebook>

From what I can gather on a quick skim, the ones well-documented by
Scott are the same ones that Simon explained in his own earlier
article:

https://www.rpgpgm.com/2016/01/read-ifs-file-using-rpg.html<https://www.rpgpgm.com/2016/01/read-ifs-file-using-rpg.html>

The article that you, Art, and I have all linked to now (titled "A
better way...") is by the same author (Simon Hutchinson), who says he
thinks the _C_API_* ones are better.

Alan Campin mentioned "Unix APIs", and I am guessing those are the
same ones explained by Scott, and by Simon's earlier article.
