Application and Data Integration Between Linux and OS/400
by Erwin Earley and David Boutcher
Previous articles have introduced the basics of Linux in logical partitioning, as well as networking alternatives for Linux, on iSeries systems. These articles covered the advantages of using iSeries for Linux in virtualizing resources (such as disk and network) and explained how to manage workloads better through subcapacity processor allocation. This article explains how Linux on iSeries can integrate with OS/400 to access data resident in DB2 databases, as well as flat files resident in the OS/400 Integrated File System. READ MORE >

To Commit or Not to Commit?
by Randy Adamski
If data integrity is important to you, you owe it to yourself to learn more about IBM's advanced database feature known as commitment control for the iSeries. This feature promises an all-or-nothing approach to database file changes. If multiple files are being updated, you can guarantee that all the files will be updated, or none of the files will be updated. Why is this important? Well, that's what this article explains.

Simplify Complex Conditions
Hey, Ted:
One of the features I like about Open Query File is the %VALUES function, which allows me to determine whether a value is found in a list of other values. For example, the expression CTYPE = %VALUES(45 56) is equivalent to CTYPE = 45 or CTYPE = 56. RPG does not have a similar function. Is there no way to simplify complex conditions? READ MORE >

Retrieve the System Name
Hey, Ted:
At the end of reports, I print a special line that indicates that the report is complete. In addition to the message "end of report," I print the qualified job name, qualified program name, and in the case of SQL programs, the last value of the SQL status variable. These values help me to debug and troubleshoot problems. I'd like to add one more bit of information. READ MORE >
