Several people mentioned SplAPI.  Does this come with AS/400 or is it an 
add-on?  Where do I get at information about it?

Thanks for your massive help.  I am a novice when it comes to API/400 where 
I have used a very few, based exclusively on tips I found in places like 
this.  I know next to nothing about them.  Your data looks a bit to me like 
what I might get out of an *OUTFILE ... I have used a few *OUTFILEs as 
input to RPG programs.
