V5R3 CL Programming Enhancements, Part 1
by Ted Holt
In the October 10, 2003, issue of Midrange Guru, I said I doubted that the good folks at IBM would ever enhance the CL programming language. Well, I was wrong. I recently had a long phone conversation with one of those good folks, and he told me what IBM is doing to beef up CL programming in V5R3.

Using 'New' SQL Data Types in RPG
by Raymond Everhart
As RPG programmers, we have become very comfortable with character, zoned, and packed decimal data types. Occasionally, when dealing with APIs or subprocedures, we’ve been forced to dabble with binary numbers or variable length strings. More recently some of us have started taking advantage of the strengths of the date, time, and timestamp data types supported in RPG IV. And just when we think we’ve got it all covered, we find out that DB2 supports even more data types. READ MORE >

High Availability
That's Affordable, Reliable, Easy-to-Use
State-of-the-art high availability isn't as expensive and complex as you think. Not only does Echo2 cost about half of other solutions, it is so dependable, automated and self-managing that monitoring of the system usually takes less than an hour a day, and production-to-backup switchovers can be reliably accomplished in minutes.
For the Free White Paper, "High Availability - It's More Affordable Than You Think," call 1-800-957-4511, email to info@iterainc.com, or visit www.iterainc.com.

Why Use the Magic Number in Qshell Scripts?
Hey, Ted:
I have not worked with Unix, so Qshell is a new adventure for me. I am curious about the "magic number," the #! comment that shell scripts typically begin with. It appears to me that Qshell doesn't care whether you include the comment. Is that true? If so, is there a reason why I should include the magic number? READ MORE >

Admin Alert: The Absolute Coolness of the QNTC File System
by Joe Hertvik
Because most OS/400 shops also have Windows servers, IBM provides tools to integrate Windows data and objects with OS/400 applications, including the little understood but immensely valuable QNTC file system.
