Re: How to provide an RPG ILE program with a list of files in a QNTC directory

I recall using opendir() readdir() way back when...though not on an AS/400.

Looks like C++ 17 now has std::filesystem::directory_iterator ...

To bad the IBM i ILE C++ doesn't support C++ 17...

Interesting - so I just looked - fopen is in the C/C++ set, right? How
do C/C++ developers work with directories? There wasn't anything obvious
in stdio.h.

Just curious on a Friday morning!

I know there are two sets at the file level Vern but I've never seen

anything other than opendir etc. for directories.

There are actually 2 sets of APIs for working with the IFS - the C++

set and the other - maybe they are in what are called UNIX IFS APIs?

So many choices!

I absolutely agree, but I assumed those were the APIs that are being

You don't mention trying the C directory functions opendir, readir,

etc.

That to me would be far the easiest approach.
