RE: [C400-L] dev/null

I'm curious also..  But until somebody who knows answers.. Could you
write a devnull pgm?  That reads but doesn't write? Then just pipe the
data to that program.

Hello,
        What would be the AS400 equivalent of the Unix dev/null? I have
some reports that are produced in a qshell C program but don't want to
print, or save them. In Unix the reports could be sent to the dev/null
object which is a 'black hole'. Is there such a object on the AS400 that
behaves the same as dev/null. TIA Art
