Re: Documentation about QC2LE

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vinay

Have you tried to google for it? Try this search -

qc2le site:ibm.com

That will get you to things at IBM's web site, for a start.

Have you tried to find the object on your machine? Try running WRKOBJ 
*ALL/QC2LE and see what it is. I know that it is not a directory - that 
would be the IFS. It is a BINDING directory. Have you ever used 
WRKBNDDIR? In any case, use that command to see what is in the BNDDIR - 
then go look at the *SRVPGMs listed there - you can see the exports there.

And your google search will bring you to the manual that scott mentioned.

But as Alan says, there are MUCH easier ways to get a count for a 
certain condition.

Also, these _R* functions are NOT the first thing to use for 
record-level-access to data files - use RPG or COBOL - these functions 
are the same as CHAIN,etc. There ARE a couple that RPG does not do, but  
you don't need them at all for daily work. And C/C++ is just NOT the 
language for record-level-access - unless you really enjoy 
self-inflicted pain!

I do use these procedures sometimes, for very special situations.

Regards
Vern
