Searching for files and objects in the IFS
Reply
The code examples in this article is based on the first version of the FindFiles() procedure. The FindFiles() procedure has been updated to Totally Free RPG and a bug have been fixed. You will find the source code, example and build script here.
I am working on a utility and I wanted to add the ability to search for files in the IFS. That is, I wanted my utility to search the entire or relevant parts of the tree structure (including sub-directories) seen from the IFS’s point of view. Had it just been a search for objects in the libraries, a DSPOBJD command could do the job. But my ambition was that the search should work anywhere in the IFS and, of cause, only find objects matching a name mask that I would provide. Sounds like a reasonable requirement, don’t you think?
