Ken:
I guess we're all supposed to be using direct APIs rather than *outfile support
or IBM figures it's easy enough to roll-your-own or they figure a business
partner will supply the feature/function or they have to budget where they
spend their development dollars and not enough customers ask for it or...
Well, okay, I can feel comfortable with their direction whatever their
rationale is; it forced me to learn a lot more APIs sooner than I would have
otherwise. (Plus, I currently get paid by an IBM business partner.)
However, there are plenty of times I agree with your final sentiment.
I'm pasting a CLP that shows a possible approach. It's just a CRTPF, two API
calls and a bunch of CHGVARS, all with minimal comments; but I think it will do
pretty much exactly what you requested. With the addition of some parms to pass
in values that you'll want to change with each run and maybe a command shell,
it'll maybe be useful. By changing a couple things such as which format to
request from the QSYRAUTU API and handling errors, and maybe doing some work on
the minimal CRTPF parameters (possibly creating a "real" externally-described
file) and allowing for adding records rather than replacing them, it might even
become close to production-level.
It ought to compile and work just as it is assuming the profile name "#PRDNGO"
is valid.
Comments are minimal because the documentation for the two APIs covers it all
better than I would, not to mention how big the source would get for this post.
A major limitation is the current size of the list return variable for QSYRAUTU
-- it's set to *char(9999) because it's a CL program. That limits it to only
833 group members for the format being used. (It's _possible_ to get around
this, but there are nasty potential problems.) But once it's seen in CL, it can
be easier to visualize in RPG. Of course, once it's in RPG, writing to a file
is no problem.
If a "real" utility for this isn't submitted by someone else, maybe this will
give you a start.
