help with dspf file stuff

[afcjack]

hey guys, here's the thing: i have to make a program that generates a printer file that contains the variables, their name, type and lentgh of any given dspf file source (as400/rpg400). any ideas on how to do that? thx!

I'm not sure, does the system cross-ref file contain data on DSPF? I know it has PF and LF.

Else, you prob have to scan the source, or use a dspfd against the dspf.

do a dsppfm on the file of your source,, example you keep the programs in qddssrc in the mylib library,,, and every source is a different member. somewhere is the pf,,, should be some indication of what kind of a member it is. Play around with that and see where you go.

could you not, using PDM, call up all DSPF members in a source file. Select option PRINT, then do a CPYSPLF to a physical file, and write a program to extract the variables?

DSPFFD FILE(file) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(lib/outfile)

Then you can do an OPNQRYF on outfile (to sort it), and write an RPG program to print the results.
