Effective Communication, Part II

Dear Readers:

In the January 22, 2003, issue of Midrange Guru, I shared the way in which I like to make green-screen programs report errors to a user. In this issue, I expand on that topic and share a subprocedure I use that helps me when working with message data.

Type2 IFS Directories and Domino

Hey, Ted:

I read with interest your article "Type2 IFS Directories," which published in the October 23, 2002 issue of Midrange Guru, and I also read Jeff Parker's "Get Ready to Boost Your IFS Performance with V5R2," which published in the August 29, 2002 issue of The Four Hundred. I am running Domino, which, as you know, uses the IFS on a V5R1 system, and I was wonder whether upgrading my IFS to Type2 directories will have a positive effect on day-to-day Domino performance. What benefits, if any, would I see to Domino by changing my IFS directories to Type2 under V5R1?

Reader Feedback and Insights: Native Awk

I read your article, "Running Awk," which discusses awk on the iSeries, and would like to point out that there is a native version of gawk (the GNU version of awk) available for V4R3 and later.
