As to RPG, there is no need to be tied to file IO when working with user
spaces. Walking the results of a system API call with a pointer is the
simplest thing in the world, and no IO opcodes - just EVALs.

I wasn't talking about using (database) file I/O for user spaces. I
know you normally "walk" through them using pointers. I brought up
file I/O solely to point out that user spaces don't have "built-in"
support in RPG to the same degree that files have built-in support in
RPG.
