RPG IV Comment Blocks
Hey, Ted:

Conditional compilation directives (/IF DEFINED) have two good uses that I have not seen mentioned in any of the midrange-oriented e-mail newsletters. Maybe you would like to tell your readers who work in RPG shops about them. READ MORE >

 

Controlling PC Access
Hey, Wayne O:

First of all, thank you for your good Web site and your very useful essays. I have some questions about AS/400 security. I would like to find a solution to prevent access to the database, running remote commands from PCs, and PC file transfers. READ MORE >

  Admin Alert: Use Fix Central to Order iSeries PTFs on CD-ROM

Look for the Four Hundred 2005 Special Report on December 15

Another year is winding down, and all of us are looking ahead and perhaps looking forward (they are not always the same thing, as the latter implies optimism) to 2005 and beyond. So what does the future of the IT market in general and the iSeries market in particular hold? What are the products and policies that OS/400 shops would like to see IBM and its partners implement in the iSeries? Find out in the "Four Hundred 2005 Special Report," which will be published on December 15. You don't have to do anything special to receive this report. We are sending it free to all subscribers to our OS/400 newsletters as a holiday gift.
