Transferring Save Files
by Bruce Guetzkow
In addition to transferring physical file data to and from the Integrated File System (IFS), which I covered a year ago in this newsletter (see "Better Data Transfers"), it is sometimes desirable to transfer data that has been placed into a save file. Copying a save file to the IFS makes it possible to attach data to an email. You can then easily share objects with a colleague or with IBM for aid in problem resolution. I have developed two commands that simplify this task: SAVSAVFIFS (Save Save File to IFS) and RSTSAVFIFS (Restore Save File from IFS). READ MORE >

Readers, Vendors Weigh In on Native Browser Support
Brian Kelly seems to have hit a nerve when he suggested that what IBM ought to do is pull an IBM Rochester integration maneuver and tightly integrate its RPG and COBOL compilers with HTML and go so far as to make the Web browser a native device that RPG and COBOL programs can speak to without intermediaries. (See "Wanted: Native RPG and COBOL Support for Browsers".) It sounded like a good idea to an awful lot of you. READ MORE >
