Transform DB2 to XML from AS/400

LBurkett99 — Sun, 10 May 2009 15:36:24 +0000

I have been requested to create XML files from AS/400 DB2 files to be used to update data on a client’s web server. I have looked at IBM’s XML Toolkit for iSeries, but the examples are all about parsing XML input and nothing about creating XML from native AS/400 database files. Is there something in the Toolkit that will do this? Does anyone have any experience with DB2 to XML? Thanks.

Java on iSeries

Can anyone suggest me the link to learn Java on i-series? I am an experienced AS/400 programmer with knowledge on Java.

RPG vs Java vs Others

Gilly400 — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:22:52 +0000

Hi,

With the possibilities of using all sorts of C and Java type functions now available in RPG and bearing in mind that (in my experience) Java is difficult to tune to perform reasonably on the i-Series is there any benefit for an RPG programmer to learn Java?

Or would some other language be a better option? What other languages do we have available for i-series these days?

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

Program utility required

Rob6606 — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:54:43 +0000

I have had a request from a developer for the following:

Utility program required so that a PF file and library can be specifed with starting date / time and ending date / time.
This utility will then extract all the current journal records for that file, including the journal fields e.g. user, program, date, time, and also all the fields from the journalled PF record specified in a readable/queryable format.
This is similar to using the DSPJRN command and specifying an *OUTFILE but make all the entry secific data readable in one easy step.

Any pointers as to whether this is fairly simple or involves major code to be written?

Java on iSeries

Uiiuo — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 04:12:55 +0000

We have a java program running on web sphere on linux. The java program is zipped as jar and deployed in an IFS directory and we use RPGILE to call the java program.

Would it be possible to deploy war file instead of jar file in IFS directory and call the java program in the war file using RPGILE?

Can embedded SQL in a SQLRPGLE program be used as a stored procedure?

Warykat — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:09:05 +0000

I am successfully using (external) stored procedures with many RPGLE programs.
(Some of these are SQLRPGLE programs because they return a result set.)
All of this works fine.

But if I try to replace some of the RPG I/O in a RPGLE program with embedded SQL,
creating a SQLRPGLE program, and run it as a stored procedure,
I get a SQL error. I can call the same program from another program and it runs fiine.

It is as if this double use of SQL is a no-no.
Is there a way to use embedded SQL in a SQLRPGLE program
and be able to run it as a stored procedure?

Where do you foresee browser-based iSeries access applications going, with regard to development portals, user interface methodologies, etc. ?
