RPG ILE Interface to IFS

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

David,

The QUSAPIBD *BNDDIR is intended to contain all ILE APIs that are
documented in the System API Reference.  From a historical point of
view, functions such as perror() were viewed as part of C runtime
(and are documented in the C language reference manuals rather than
the OS/400 manuals).  Since language runtime is in fact part of OS/400
perhaps this should be re-examined.  No promises, but I will see if
we can (in a safe manner) add the various C runtime *SRVPGMS to
QUSAPIBD.  One problem I can see is that the C header files should
probably then move to QSYSINC also, and that is definitely opening up
a can of worms..., oh and what about the API documentation???

Thanks (I think),
Bruce
