Query Xref to file
The other day I added a field to the DDS of a file. I recompiled all of the RPG programs and display files that use the physical file. But I got burned when I found that I neglected to include all of the queries that used the file. Is there a way to query all of the query definitions to find if my...

Print a Barcode on a Microline 421 Printer (a dot matrix)
I have a client that uses 10 Mircroline 421 printers (a dot matrix) for purchase order, invoice, pick ticket, etc. They would like to print a barcode on them. The printer does have the capability to print barcodes. The printer is set to IBM emulation. I would like to use the barcode keyword in DDS...

Barcode scanning
We develop and use a lot of barcode scanning and reading applications. Some of the portable scanners in the warehouse allow the user to establish a session to the AS400 via a wireless bridge. Once signed on, the user is presented with the scanning application. Due to the fact that their scanners...

Copy DDS defined file to .txt file
I am trying to copy a large, 1.4 mil records, 535 byte records, from an old DDS defined file on the iSeries to a .txt file. I have used FTP and CPYTOIMPF using every combination of setting I can think of. Every time it translates the packed numeric fields correctly but creates garbage for the alpha...

ALTPAGEUP/DOWN CF Indicator Question

field description-is there a way to run a command over a library to generate an outfile
State audit being performed over all our tables in order to associate level of restriction to some data. I've been tasked to provide a report of all the fields defined in our tables - is there a way to run a command over a library to generate an outfile. Something like DSPPFD but need it to go...

DDS or SQL
We have an existing COBOL application using files defined in DDS format. We are considering to move from DDS to DDL for future development. What is the best strategy to take this approach?

Copy Stream File
Hello, I have a stream file that I have copied to the iSeries. I would now like to copy this file to a physical file defined using DDS as a file with one field of 1024. The records in the stream file are delimited with a tilde, not a CR, LF, or any combination of these. Any suggestions how to...

Iseries print position problem
I am having difficulty positioning output in the same position on a page across different printers using line/column positioning in DDS. If I use the position keyword in the same document across these printers then the output is positioned on the page in exactly the same spot each time. I want to...

Code for printing on IBM 6400 printers
My company uses 6400 printers to print reports with bar codes and boxes. Currently the code that is used is what is recommended by Printronix - IGP. This code is difficult to change and hard to read. There are over 100 6400 printers in operation and many different versions of firm ware as well...
