Hello Because I am new to RPGIV (existing using RPGIII) . Recently I need to write a sub-program using RPGIV (or RPGILE ? ). This sub-program will receive two parmerter (X , Y) and output one parmeter (Z) (which are in numeric format - BTW what is the max precision for numeric format in RPGIV /...
I am sending some zipped files to a server, using IBM FTP CS V1R4(exec pgm=ftp). I am executing cobol and ftp programs...Is there any possibility of returning the reports as PDF files (or some other more printable format than text). I mean when a user opens a zipped file they want to see PDF file,...
We are migrating from OS/VS COBOL Release 2.4 to enterprise COBOL Rel 3. All the programs in OS/VS Cobol were compiled using NORENT option. After migration we would like the programs compiled with enterprise cobol to run above the line. Can you let us know what changes or considerations if any do...
Hi, We are researching upgrading to 10g(10.1) for database and Developer tools. The database is currently 8.0.6 and we use Oracle Forms 5.0.6.8.0; Oracle Reports 3.0.5.8.0; and precompile Pro*C/COBOL programs with the 8.0.4.4 environment. There appears to be quite a bit of information on the...
We are attempting to adopt programming standards which would mandate the use of stored procedures in our Oracle 8i and 9i databases for data access. Application developers prefer to take advantage of the SQL generation capabilities of IBM's WenSphere and Compuware's Uniface. DBAs feel the security,...
I would like to know if you know or where can I find out if there is anybody out there that teaches the language CULPRIT. I have a project now and that is to convert that language to COBOL III. Your response will be very appreciative. Thanks, Marisol
My shop is currently looking for testing packages for batch (mostly cobol, some assembler) applications as well as our online CICS applications. We are z/OS shop using IMS and a very limited amount of DB2. We are looking at CA-InterTest, Xpediter, and SmartTest. In addition to the usual testing...
This seems kind of obvious, but we can't figure it out. Another company has sent us (via email) an EBCDIC file and we want to load it on to our iseries. What's the ticket? We've tried CPYFRMPCD and a couple of other things, but we get conversion errors? Any thoughts out there?
Is it possible in a printer file to have the duplex feature on using a front overlay and a back overlay, but use the FORCE keyword to have it print on two pages - not front and back? I know that the back overlay only works when duplexing is on. Anyone up for a challenge. Thanks.

Am finally starting to move S/36 apps to native OS400! How do you use DDS to define repeating data, for example, a table in a file using the OCCURS clause ... 05 YTD-SALES OCCURS 12 TIMES PIC S9(8)V99 05 YTD-BUDGETS OCCURS 12 TIMES ... I suppose you could just define an area in DDS of X(120)...
Hi, We're converting some old master files in to new format files. These master files have around 58 million records each. We wrote COBOL programs to convert the format and write to the new files. In order to speed up the process we are splitting the each master file into 20 parts(i.e., 20 files...
When using the WRKJOBSCDE command on the AS400, you can see information regarding jobs in the scheduler. Is this information contained in a file which can be accessed for query?
I am looking for something like below, good is all available in on software. different software for each mentioned below will also be good enough. it should run on W2k platform. 1. provide the functionality for cleaning cobol code 2.
