IPCS is most assuredly not AMDPRDMP. IPCS is descended from an internal tool named RAID (which I think was an acronym as well as a reference to a brand of bug killer), which was written by people who despised AMDPRDMP. As part of the strategy to get rid of AMDPRDMP, IPCS implemented some

Of course you can do that, and I have done so more than once myself, and similar code in COBOL. My question was not how to do it, but rather whether at this point in the operating system's life it has a generic routine to perform that storage-formatting function that may be accessible to ordina

Thanks Tom. I didn't consider IPCS for such a task. I'd have to read up on dynamically invoking IPCS to see how much effort that might be. Interesting idea, but my guess is that it would be a tad heavyweight for an application that just wanted to print the contents of some storage in standard
