I don’t have an iSeries Access 7.1 available, so I don’t know if version 5.9 of the emulator is supplied with it. It is part of iSeries Access 6.1, though; and 6.1 was released four and a half years before Windows 8 came out. The Surface Pro and its drivers put IBM’s 6.1 release a full five years back. That’s too far back to expect changes.
.
IBM has no plans that I’m aware of for changing version 6.1 to run on Win8, and almost certainly never for a recent 3rd-party driver on Surface Pro hardware. I haven’t even seen that 7.1 will officially run on it. I have seen successful installs on Win8 of 7.1; they’re just not supported by IBM and not on a Surface Pro.
.
Unless you actually need the extra controls included with the iSeries Access workstation program, you probably should just try a more basic emulator such as the one from Mochasoft. Other TN5250 emulators might also work.
.
If someone has success installing and using iSeries Access 6.1 on a Surface Pro, they might post their experience here. But stay aware that if you run into problems later, there will be little or no support from IBM. Most likely the next iSeries Access release will include Win 8 support.

I haven’t seen how it works, so I can’t say anything authoritative. I’ve only read reviews and blog posts describing it. (I have zero interest in Facebook personally.) From descriptions, it sounds like it will be temporarily good for Facebook, but not good for mobile overall until some things change.
.
To me, the big question becomes what happens when a second organization puts out the same kind of app for themselves? How will it coexist with Facebook on the same device?

Tom

Please clarify your question. Are you asking how to install? Or do you want to know how to use it? (Are you a user? Or are you wanting to distribute it to your users?) Or are you asking how its internal technology works?

Please define “auto-advance”. Does that mean that you want to control which input field on a form is next? Do you simply want to have the cursor jump to the next field when the last character is typed into the current input field? Is this a ‘tab’ question? Or is this a “record auto-advance” that you’re asking about?
.
A little clarification could be helpful.

You need to study TCP/IP communications (or SNA depending on protocols, though SNA isn’t covered by TRCCNN). This isn’t something that can be put into a response or answer here. It is far too large of a subject.
.
Part of the problem is that there will be a potentially huge amount of ‘data’ that is part of the transmissions, and data bytes will often match text bytes from search strings. So for example, you might want to search for places where the RST bit is on. But the data might have the word “FIRST” in it. That might be a dumb example, but it is valid and it illustrates the problem that you seem to be asking about.
.
The point is that there is no value to you in having a trace until you know how to read one. And to read one correctly, you need to know TCP/IP. It’s possible that you are collecting traces to send to IBM, and in that case they know how to read it.
.
If you want to learn, run a Google search for something like [ tcp ip protocol bits ] and start reading. Plenty of on-line courses exist, and there are plenty of books. Also, the RFCs that define TCP/IP are very useful references and you should be familiar with them.

I don’t quite understand. Do you need to create a file that has default values defined for its fields? Or are you creating a file and adding records to it that have values in the fields?
.
Those are two different things. The first has no records, but the fields have attributes for “defaults”. The second does have records, but might not have field attributes for “defaults”; instead it simply has values in the fields.
.
What command are you using to “create” the file?
.
What is the point? What purpose is served? What business problem is being solved?
.
Tom

What do you mean when you say “I start reading the subfile at relative record number 1…”? That is, please show the COBOL READ statement that you use. Also, please show the statement that puts the subfile error indicator back out to a subfile record.
.
What does the SELECT statement look like for the subfile?
.
It might be difficult without seeing the logic of the code that does the subfile I/O. We don’t need to see the validation code; that can be in a PERFORM subroutine. But the logic that loops through the subfile reading changed records (or all records) and rewriting subfile error indicators might be necessary.

Hello,

The manufacturer would be the one to consult about the reccommended life span of the tapes.

It is possible that there is an unanswered media alert or a cleaning needs to be run.

What is the error the failed backups are getting?

I think it’s great. Facebook’s involvement further validates mobile and, more importantly, validates the fact that businesses and IT shops need to be on top of mobile management and security now more than ever.

Make the decision today to become one of the seemingly rare organizations that has a true mobile IT strategy. Anything less and you’re going to get bitten with IT overload, politics, or a breach.

1. Run gpupdate /force and see if the settings change.
2. Log group policy using information here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775423(v=ws.10).aspx
See if the policy changes again and then check the logs to see where the settings are coming from.

I like your answer.. either a runsql’s or a qmqry.

Another option is to use SQL without changing your program from RPGLE to SQLRPGLE.
You can use build your SQL statements and use QCMDEXC to run the RUNSQL command.
Or you can have a seperate program that uses SQL to build your file(s) in QTEMP and then you process them with your RPG program.

You could use CPYFRMQRYF to create the file(s) in qtemp and then process those…that would allow you to
create one opnqryf
copy if
close it
then do the next.
then call the rpg program ..

That’s your choice. I just wouldn’t want to keep giving my employer old technology if I could make improvements. I figure I’m paid to do what’s best for the employer, and I want to make myself more valuable.
.
However, it does take time and effort; and it’s not something to do without some experience. But even in that case, I’d make a copy of the program and study how to do it in spare time.

Doug & Tom,

I might had took default period of 1 year while creating the certificate for the first time. I shall check if I found any additional information on this.

Thanks for the discussion.

I cannot build a logical on the file and dont want to change the type from RPGLE to SQLRPGLE for this.

What does your code look like so far? VB might not be a very good choice for locating primes that large. — Tom

would you please help me.

i want generate a large prime number (64 digits) and use fermat algorithm in visual basic. please help me.

thank you

I’ve never seen it done, but I can’t think of any reason it shouldn’t work. It’s not clear yet why OPNQRYF is used at all, nor why the dates aren’t both simply added to the OPNQRYF. Why not simply put the dates in the current query?
.
It would be done with two OPNQRYF files in the same way you do it with one; just add the new commands and the new F-spec, and process the second file like any second file is processed. A RPG program doesn’t care nor even know if OPNQRYF is being used.
.
Personally, I’d dump the OPNQRYF and do it in a more efficient way. It’s bad enough doing it with one. Adding a second makes it twice as bad.
