Jim,

I know it's not what you want, but prototype the C runtime system() function
and bind with QC2LE.  It gives a cleaner interface (IMHO) than QCMD, so you
can do the whole thing in RPG:

Fwrknetf   if   e             disk    usropn

 ...

D system          pr            10i 0 extproc('system')
D  command                        *   const options(*string)

 ...

C             callp     system('ovrdbf wrknetf qtemp/wrknetf')
C
C             dou       exitRequested
C             callp     system('wrknetf output(*outfile) +
C                               outfile(qtemp/wrknetf)')
C             open      wrknetf
C
C             read      qnfdntf
C             dow       not %eof(wrknetf)

  ...

C             read      qnfdntf
C             enddo

  ...

C             close     wrknetf
C             enddo

 ...

Caveat: NOT TESTED!!

Oh, and no DOU/DOW wars from the peanut gallery!
