Re: IFS files
IFS is short for Integrated File System which is more or less a file system built on top of the native HFS (Hierarchal File System). the IFS is pretty much like the standard file systems used by Windows, Linux, etc.
CPYTOSTMF/CPYFRMSTMF are copy functions to manipulate files located on the IFS. on all other platforms/OS's all files are "stream" files. Stream files basically are in essence a huge "flat" file with delimiters, etc. (of course there are differences in all types of stream files(i.e. .XLS, .CSV, etc)I'm not anti-social, I just don't like people -Tommy Holden
