Run SQL Scripts: Use Temporary JDBC Settings
by Skip Marchesani

I consider myself to be a power user of Run SQL Scripts and use them for a variety of purposes, including ad hoc queries to do data analysis.

Once you select your personal preferences and click the Connect button on the bottom of the JDBC Setup panel, your preferences are saved and become the default each time you invoke Run SQL Scripts.

Can a Function Return More Than One Value?
Hey, Ted:

Is it possible for an RPG subprocedure to return more than one value? (I assume it isn't; the RETURN opcode only allows for one argument.)

Admin Alert: Erasing i5/OS Disk for Fun and Compliance
by Joe Hertvik

When decommissioning iSeries, System i, or Power i systems, there may be legal considerations in erasing disk drive data. Decommissioning can occur when removing disk drives from a system; when completing a Disaster Recovery Test on an outside provider's machine; or when an i5/OS machine is sold or returned to a leasing company. The problem is that decommissioning disk drives can easily violate legally mandated compliance standards. READ MORE >
