I'm being asked to document an iSeries application and one of the documents required is the Data Architecture of of the iSeries Application. Also, what is the difference between an Application Flow diagram and a Data Flow diagram. This is my first time creating these documents and my previous...

I was assigned to design the program and while I have view authority on the mainframe I don't think I have compile authority. I'll try to find one of the project developers to test it. Thanks for the advice.

Hi, I have copybook1 with the following: 05 group1 05 group2 REDEFINES group1 I have copybook2 that contains the following: 05 newgroup Can I do the following given that the redefining and redefined groups are from different copybooks? 05 group2 REDEFINES newgroup Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does anyone know how to view JCL code on the mainframe using TWS? I know there is a way by naming a JCL Edit Tool Panel but I don't know where to find the Panel names. Are there any other ways to view JCL without using Edit Panels?

I'm looking for some background on I/90(Insure/90). I know it is Insurance related and runs on the AS400 but is it just an Insurance front end software? A year ago I think I saw something on IBM's site but I can't find it anymore. I tried Google and found ads for I/90 developers and a few...

I know there's quite a difference between RPG and RPGLE but what is the difference between CL and CLLE? One thing I do know is that the Source File, Library and Member fields in the compiled object become blank and until 7.1 you can't recover the source for CLLE. Does anyone have a link to...

How do you use a PRTF inside an RPG Program? Can you still use EXCPT #record or do you use WRITE record? Would appreciate it if anyone can show how to use PRTFs.

I've read in some forums that PRTF allows date and time printing without needing to code it. Is there anything else that can be done in PRTF that can't be done in O-specs? Can you use indicators located in a PRTF inside a rpg program? For example: Print one line if an indicator is on and print...

Which is better and which is best practice? I've never used PRTF before and the client I used to work for used O-specs in their programs. Most of their printouts are only used by one program so PRTF weren't used. When do you use PRTF? Ever worked with multiple programs that shared one PRTF?

Is there any faster way to move records from a file to a stem other than using a DO loop? TSO REXX has "EXECIO * DISKR file(STEM. FINIS)", I know it's specific to Mainframe but using a DO loop takes too long.

Still not working. Were you able to get the following code to work for you? Parse Arg lib TotLines=0 'RTVMBRD FILE('lib'/temp) NBRCURRCD(&TotLines)' 'OVRDBF FILE(STDIN) TOFILE('lib'/temp)'...

Just for reference, I'm working in a v3r2. We're rtying to get a 6.1 but until then I have 3.2.

I took a look at the joblog and found this message: Position open ignored for member chkrpt. Pressed F1 and found this: Message ID . . . . . . : CPF4016 Severity . . . . . . . : 10 Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic Date sent...

I added teh POSITION parameter but it seems to overwrite the contents of the file instead of appending.

I got it to work! Thanks for the help. Is there a way to append to the last line of a file? Below is my REXX program. I want AUTHOR comments to be written on a new line/appended to the end of file everytime I run the program instead of overwriting the first line. Parse Arg lib...

Thanks for the reply. Are there any AS400 equivalents for the TSO external functions(OUTTRAP, SYSDSN, GETMSG, etc)?

Hi, I've been asked to recreate a TSO REXX program in the AS400. I'm not too good with TSO commands so I don't know the AS400 commands that I need to use. I know not everything in TSO REXX applies to REXX400 like OUTTRAP. I wanted to start slow and made a program that will check if the...

so a module cannot be run using the CALL command from the command prompt? Like a program that needs data created in another program passed to it to run? How do copybooks work? I know that you need to put /IFDEFINE in the copy book and /DEFINE in the calling program but how does it work?

When is it best to compile a program as a module and when is it best to compile as Service program? I know that copybooks, modules and service programs encourage reuseability of code and that copybooks are members that can contain reuseable D-specs and that you don't compile copybooks. Can...

What other languages are alive and useable on the AS400 post System i 6.1? I've read somewhere that BASIC, Pascal and PL/I support stopped somewhere in v4. The list of languages I found includes: Assembly, RPG, CL, COBOL, RPGLE, Java, C, C++, Perl, EGL, Smalltalk, SQL, BASIC, PL/I, Python...
