    Question for guys who are in IT for 10+ years

    Can't say what the US market is like, but here in the UK (I am also a 10 year bloke) the trend is for offshoring so unless you start learning Punjabi/Thai or Mandarin, your technical skills will be usurped by younger and very much cheaper 'dime a dozen' overseas coders. The only thing I have...

    problems with CreateObject

    No, this is the same script running on the same machine, just being called via different processes - one works and one doesn't. I was wondering if there was some sort of limitation of VBScript and if there are limitations imposed on the objects that can be created by some applications.

    I am having a problem running script that basically uses CreateObject("Word.Application") to stream an RTF file from my temp directory, change the current default printer for that word application to one sent in as a parm. So it is treamed directly to printer device sitting on our network. The...

    WRKACTJOB

    if you want to know what is using up your CPU, just WRKACTJOB and then move your cursor over to the CPU column and press F4, this will sort the column in descending order, with the process using the most CPU at the top. You can see more detailed CPU info by pressing F11. OK, its not great but...

    DDS Subfile Problem in COBOL

    Is this an AS400 based program right? If so check your job log, you may find it is simply the fact that you are missing the correct library for this file from your library list.

    Help with Excel/Visual Basic....

    microsoft bundles a spreadsheet activex control with windows - you can use it by loading it with a text file (can use csv formats) - don't know if that is any help but also there are some other office type controls that might be of help, one of which creates charts.

    how are you downloading this file? is there any translation going on to take it from ebcdic to ascii ?? if so can't you just get the translation to transform the field into a usable format? I must admit my experience with creating flat files from mainframes is that usually there is a program...

    grahics display problem

    I find java tends to perform poorly in terms of painting the screen when you don't have enough RAM. I would recommend at least 256meg if you can get it. However, before splashing out on more memory, paste your code here and everyone can take a look at it - it could be just a repaint issue.

    How to load flat files in DB2 tables?

    I know DB2 on IBM mainframe has a load utility called DB2LOAD (or something like that) which takes flat csv files and puts them straight into tables. You just need to remember to format the individual values correctly for the insert e.g. strings in 'quotes' etc.

    IT Market

    its funny - Nike & Gap started off the trend (or at least continued the tradition) of putting production into cheap warehouses where children are paid 1p and hour for making training shoes - I know that if 99% of IT based companies could do the same they would. The next best thing is to package...

    RPG Forum???

    well lets face it, if you are programming in RPG then 99 times out of 100 you are using an AS400, so seems to be the natural place to ask AS400 questions. You should have seen this forum a year agao, full of idiots mistaking RPG for Role Playing Games - aah man, it took lots of insults and lots...
