Re: getenv vs. QtmhGetEnv

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

getenv() is part of the core operating system, and always available.

QtmhGetEnv() is part of the IBM HTTP server, so isn't available unless 
that feature is installed.

There aren't any other pros/cons that I'm aware of.  I strongly suspect 
that QtmhGetEnv calls getenv() under the covers.  I'm pretty sure it was 
purely designed as a wrapper to make things easier for languages that 
don't support pointers or null-terminated strings.  (Which is not a 
problem from RPG.)

Can I assume this question is somehow related to FTPAPI or HTTPAPI?
