Abstract
NetUtil.DLL is a REXX function package which includes REXX functions that
simulate and enhance NET commands of IBM OS/2 LAN Server products. It also
includes functions that can perform what NET commands do not offer.
It is designed to provide REXX programmers with ease-of-use interface and
more capabilities than NET commands.
Note: IBM offers an applet WSLSRXUT("LAN Server/Warp Server REXX API
extension") as a free AS-IS software from a Web site;
http://www.software.ibm.com/warp/pspinfo/wsappletshref="/docs/rxtt36/.php
NetUtil has less functions than WSLSRXUT, but I think it will be
more friendly to use than WSLSRXUT because NetUtil is is an
implementation of NET commands as REXX functions but WSLSRXUT is an
implementation of LAN Server APIs as REXX functions.
Advantage of NetUtil functions
* It sets information directly into REXX variables.
* It offers more simple interface than NET commands.
* It provides non-ADMIN users with limited information that cannot be
obtained by NET commands.
* There are also useful functions of non-NET command type.
* It returns an exact return code from NET APIs.
NetUtil makes a REXX program simple
Here is an example of REXX program that lists all the group names of a
logon domain and the user ids within the groups. (Imagine your coding
work if you have to code it with NET GROUP command.)
/* Example: */
if NetGroup('Query','out','.')=0 then
do
do i=1 to out.0
/* group id*/
say out.i.0gid
/* comment for this group */
say out.i.0remark
/* number of users */
do j=1 to out.i.0
/* user id within the group*/
say out.i.j
end
end
end
