Re: IFS

Pat,

There is a good tutorial at
http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/ifs_ebook/ifs_ebook.pdf explaining how to
access the IFS from RPG. You my also consider to download my IFS service
program that gives you a higher level of abstraction (Freeware).

   http://tools400.de/English/Freeware/Service_Programs/IFS/ifs.html

Basically you use Unix or C procedures to access data in the IFS.

IF you want to access the IFS from a PC you need to define a share (similar
to a Windows share) for the directory in the IFS you want to make available
for a PC. You need the "iSeries Naviagtor" formerly "Operations Navigator"
to define a share. Start the iSeries Navigator and go to "YourSystem" ->
"File Systems" -> "Integrated File System". Then navigate to the directory
you want to share. Right-click on the directory and select "Sharing" ->
"New Share". Fill in the the name of the share, the description and
specifiy the access mode. Then click OK.

Now you should be able to access the directory from a PC using the
following path name:

   \\yourSystemName.com\ShareName\
