    Testing RPG

    Test bench from Original Software Group will test both AS400 apps and PC type apps- web and the like. I don't consider STRISDB or STRDBG to be testing tools.

    Workers in tech office to be axed

    Just like the question of how will x number of workers support social security in the future- how will x number of taxpayers support the pensions of x number of retired gov't workers? And the medical benefits?

    Diagnostic error messages

    Thanks. I thought I wrote that I was making a copy of QCPFMSG, but I guess I didn't. Jack

    Diagnostic error messages

    I coded the MONITOR and PSSR in my V5R2 RPG IV program so that I could detect and recover from a battery failure in a scanner device that emulates the 5250 stream. However, the error is diagnostic (CPF4410) and control is not returned to the RPG program and my recovery code is not executed. My...

    Recovery from wireless devices abending

    Thanks, PeteJohnson, but the scanner program edits and updates, so sending the transactions to a data queue might be a good solution, but not what IT wants for a solution. We use data queues and message queues and async tasks to update in the background. My boss didn't want me to rewrite the...

    Recovery from wireless devices abending

    Thanks for the reply, ladeecroft. The scanners emulate the 5250 screen and send the transactions directly to the AS/400- there is no text file or anything. Jack

    Recovery from wireless devices abending

    My boss asked me to research this- we have wireless scanners in awarehouse- the 5250 emulation type connected to the AS/400 - that when they have a record lock or lose power or lose signal, causes some records to be updated and not others. We cannot use commitment control. The major problem is...

    ALDON CMS

    I did somethng similar with physical files. I did it external to the system in a separate file. I defined the files are transactional and master (and a few others). A job runs and adds missing files to this file and flags the new files as master. This file is used in a data refresh process...

    Differences between programming languages

    Jeez, jwenting, don't get your knickers in a twist! I just think there are TOO many languages. I understand the need for x number of languages. Some become popular for a short period of time, then go away. It just seems to me that we get away from our purpose, solving customer problems, and...

    Free Format MOVE, MOVEL

    No, no sore spot. Just trying to say- are we serving the customer? I have worked with many programmers over the years and they couldn't grasp RPGII concepts. Or basic programming concepts. Now I'm at the point where the user is more important than another variant of RPG. I know we need to...

    Differences between programming languages

    Why are their so many languages that do the same things, except for this or that? Let's get rid of VB and make VB.NET! Let's get rid of COBOL and RPG and go with C++ for business programming! Why? How does this help the customer, the person we are supposed to be helping in this career?

    Free Format MOVE, MOVEL

    I read the article from your post and it's crazy. I believe that we (or some of us) have made the whole programming language category )for lack of a better term) impossible. My function is to give the user the tools to do their job. Instead we have a set of tools that make our jobs more...

    Hey longhair- how many times were you tought, I mean, taught this? Didn't stick the first time? Just busting you. I'm having a bad day, I think.

    Are computers simply too complicated for common use

    Generally I find that people who build it understand it and don't realize or care that others don't understand it. They could say- "hey we made a mistake, it doesn't make sense to the new person." If it was just the stop computer under the start button, it would be a small problem...
