Re: How to use stdin/stdout/stderr from ILE RPG?

Not sure if this would work for your purposes, but you can call any Qsh/Pase/Bash script and capture stdout and then consume from RPG.

QShell on i

Works from CL, RPG or COBOL.

Hi Patrik

I dont have stdin/stdout/stderr but I have an RPG program that uses Unix Apis that can open/read any file.
It is not complete because I got stuck on null capable fields. One needs a indicator DS for the null field maps that matches the null capable fields.

Hello,

I took a while to search the net how I can use stdin/stdout/stderr from within ILE RPG, but I failed to find something relevant.

Does anybody have some hints?

I want to implement a simple and highly specialized (for Spamassassin) database I/O manager running from within inetd instead of SQL, which is just too slow on my 150.
