Hi, To minimise our laboratory costs, I'm looking at a solution, which will allow me to test our products with an AS400 using the latest OS400 versions, without having to purchase an iSeries. Crazy? Maybe! SAP provide MiniSap (Windows based), which is a basic version of their system, but can be...

We would like to automate a file transfer, and I thought to use the cpyfrmimpf cl command. The problem is that the .CSV file we wish to copy to our DB2 database has a header row that does not match the column data...some data must appear to the transfer as numeric. When I remove the header row,...

Greetings, I understand SQL stored procedures on the AS/400 generate C source code which is compiled to create a C ILE program object. I could use the same SQL statements in an RPGLE with embedded SQL program and use that to create a RPG stored procedure. Which of the two is more efficient? ...
Has anyone developed a keyboard macro, VB Script or WSCST object that will let you enter the hex values necessary to highlight source code in SEU while using Rumba? I found a few examples for CA/400, but not for Rumba. TIA...Chuck
