Re: Finding members

I agree, speed can be an issue. There must be a mapping, among other
things, that slows things down between the IFS and the native library
system. I wonder if the *TYPE2 IFS directory attribute can speed things up
for QSYS.LIB file system access.

I don't know what's with FNDMBR - 5 years ago, when I first used it, it was
pretty fast. YMDV (your mileage DID vary)
