EXPERT RESPONSE
I have done this myself recently and used an excellent article from Scott Klement in iSeries News magazine, "RPG and the IFS; Text Files in the World". (You may have to subscribe to review these articles and to download the code.)
I also used other articles by Scott: "Don't Submit, Spawn!" to execute a directory list command, and "Communicating through a Pipe" to read the directory listing in my program. These articles are also available on the iSeries Network website, and came through Club Tech Programming Tips to those who subscribe to them.
I have created a *MODULE object containing all the relevant procedures (and a few more). You can view the source code here. ==================================
