Typical use of System Object Access APIs for iSeries Access for Windows

Three summaries for and examples of System Object Access API usage are provided below.

Each example is presented twice; a typical sequence of API calls is shown in summary form, and then an actual C-language sample program is presented. The summary indicates which APIs are required (R) and which are optional (O). Normally, additional code would be required to check for and handle errors on each function call; this has been omitted for illustration purposes.

Displaying a customized list of iSeries objects
In this example, a list object for a list of iSeries™ spool files is created. After setting the desired sort and filter criteria, the list is displayed to the user, with the user interface customized so that certain user actions are disabled.
Displaying the Properties view for an iSeries Object
A list object for a list of iSeries™ spool files is created. After setting the desired filter criteria, the list is opened, and a handle to the first object in the list is obtained. A properties view that shows the attributes for this object is displayed to the user.
Accessing and updating data for iSeries Objects
A list object for a list of iSeries™ spool files is created. After setting the desired filter criteria, the list is opened. A parameter object is created which will be used to change the output priority for each spooled file in the list.
