AS/400 Record Count

CharlieBrowne — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:07:20 +0000

I need a command to use in a CL program that will give me the record count for all records in a file. RTVMBRD will do it for a single member, but I need it for MBR(*ALL).

I know I can dump a *MBRLIST to a file and tally it up form there, but if someone already has this, why reinvent the wheel.

How to get the “Named-FIRST MBR” in a CL/400 pgm

How to access the “FIRST MBR” of a multi-membered file in a CL/400 program.
my scenario
————
I have a multi-membered file called WKSLSP, which has MBRs in the following format
either MSPmmddyyn or FDBmmddyyn;(where mmddyy is the JOB-DATE and ‘n’ is the sequence number)
like :-
FDB100510A
FDB100510B
FDB1005106
MSP1005103
MSP1005105
The Seq. no.(n) may range from A to Z first, and then 1 to 9. So the first member on any given day will look like FDB091510A and the second one will look like FDB091510B & so on, till FDB091510Z
and FDB0915101, FDB0915102,.. till FDB0915109 in that sequence only.
The program will be called with a parameter (either ‘FDB’ or ‘MSP’)
I need to pick-up the FIRST MBR of either ‘FDB’ or ‘MSP’, based on the above parameter passed, in the above mentioned sequence.
This seq. no. is required, as they may send us more than 1 file per day on any given day
& and both ‘MSP’ & ‘FDB’ can come on the same day as well.
example:
In the above mentioned example…
If I call the program with parm ‘FDB’, it should pickup “FDB100510A” as the first MBR.
If there are no “FDB100510A” or “FDB100510B”, then “FDB1005106″ should be picked up.
Same is the case with ‘MSP’ also(i.e. “MSP1005103″ should be picked up as the first MBR)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Svanky

Suse booting on external Hard drive problems

Securityn00b12 — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 19:18:40 +0000

I have a Dell 1520 w/ Vista home basic, also an external hard drive. I am trying to use the external HD to boot my Linux on. I installed Suse the first time, and it set up shop on the external, but put the boot section in my MBR on the internal HD on the laptop. Now, not a big deal, I reinstall Suse to the external and point it to create the MBR on that HD, and then just fix the MBR on the laptop, Horay!! I thought. The laptop will boot into vista now but I attach the external HD and it will not even think about booting into Suse, (yes I have the BIOS set to boot from USB and yes I have done it from USB before with another device on this laptop). I am at a loss now and I am not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
