Auto reply AS/400 messages

It is possible to configure the machine to work with automatic reply for messages. What you have to do is to add reply entry to the system.

The ADDRPYLE command will add an automatic response to a system message.
The WRKRPYLE command will display all automatic responses set up on your system.

Retrieve IFS folder content

At present if required to obtain a list of files in IFS folder RTVDIRINF command will provide an output as two files in QUSRSYS library. One file contains the folder details and other contains the files. The disadvantage of RTVDIRINF command is the user must have *ALLOBJ special authority to invoke it. Therefore it is not practical to use it in programs.

Therefore to list files in IFS folder, the following method can be adopted.




OVRDBF FILE(STDOUT) TOFILE(QTEMP/DIRLIST) OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) LVLCHK(*NO)

CD DIR('/<to required folder>')

QSH CMD('ls *.*')

You need to write a small CLLE code for this.
