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.

Printing Barcodes Without an IPDS Printer
Hey, Mike:

I've been given a challenge and don't know where to start. I've been asked to add a "code 3 of 9" barcode to a picking list, which is an SCS report. The only way they've ever produced barcodes is with an IPDS printer. They want the iSeries to print to a laser printer instead, since laser printers are cheaper than IPDS printers. They also would prefer not to embed printer control codes in RPG output. Is this doable? READ MORE >

Updating Through an SQL Cursor
Hey, Ted:

Thanks for the many SQL tips you and others provide in Four Hundred Guru. The more I learn about SQL, the more I like it. Maybe you can explain something I have yet to figure out. I have learned how to change a set of records in one fell swoop with the UPDATE command. What I have not learned how to do is to update a single record that was read through a cursor. READ MORE >

 

Admin Alert: Changing the Limits on OS/400 Job Spool Files
by Joe Hertvik

Recent versions of OS/400 let you set the number of spool files that a job can generate. While some administrators might view this feature as a blessing, others may think that it doesn't do enough to stop runaway jobs.
