Welcome to Midrange Programmer, OS/400 Edition
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As president, publisher, and editor-in-chief of Guild Companies,
it is my job and my joy to introduce the new publications we bring to market. Welcome
to the OS/400 edition of Midrange Programmer, our how-to advice and free-code
newsletter.
Midrange Programmer is co-edited by Shannon O'Donnell and Kevin Vandever,
two OS/400 experts who don't just write about the technology used on
OS/400 today--they have day jobs at AS/400 and iSeries shops and suffer
the same frustrations in deploying new software technologies that you do.

Determining a PC's IP Address
by Shannon O'Donnell
To communicate with a PC from an RPG IV program, an important piece of information
you'll need is the PC's IP. If you were only communicating with a single or a finite
number of PCs, and those PCs always had the same IP address each time they logged onto
your iSeries, you could store the IP address in a database file on your iSeries. That
way you could just retrieve the local workstation ID for the iSeries job and look it up
in the table of IP addresses, and you'd be all set. But that scenario is not likely
to happen.

I Lost My License Key!
by Joe Hertvik
IBM protects its licensed software from being used on multiple machines by issuing
license keys. Without a license key, many popular OS/400 programs--such as Client
Access; Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS); and even OS/400 itself--will
install on a black box but expire after a 70-day grace period. License
keys are customarily delivered with your software as paper documents, which are easy to
misplace. And usually you don't realize they've been misplaced until just before you're
about to apply them to your machine using the Add License Key Information
(ADDLICKEY) command.

Calling a Program Using the iSeries Toolbox for Java
by Kevin Vandever
More and more, those who develop outside the iSeries are required to access business rules written
on the iSeries. They've always understood that data exists on that weird black box but
like to dismiss the business rules. You see, accessing legacy applications doesn't excite non-
iSeries programmers. It's not sexy. But it makes good business sense, and makes for good code
reuse, too. The good news is IBM's iSeries Toolbox for Java provides tools to access a variety
of iSeries services, like calling programs. And using the Program Call Markup Language, an XML
extension, simplifies and standardizes the process, and may even make it a little sexy.

RPG Prototyping
by Ted Holt
Would you rather find an error in a program at compile time or at runtime? If you said
compile time, read on. If you said runtime, either find yourself another profession or
invest in a good set of ear plugs to block out all the complaints you'll be getting from
your users!
I hate to get a call from a user because of a runtime error. It ruins my day because I've got
to drop whatever I'm working on, figure out what happened, and then figure out how to
recover from the error. I've got better things to do. I'd prefer to find the error at
compile time.

JavaServer Pages 101
by Richard Shaler
You may be closer to Web application development than you realize. Whether you're just
getting started with Java or you've followed the path of leaning object-oriented
programming and all of its abstract concepts--just to find that, after months of study, you
still haven't written a Java application--JavaServer Pages might be exactly what you need.
JSP is probably the simplest way to get started with Java Web application development.
In this article, I'll explain the basics of JSP programming and include a working JSP
sample program that retrieves information from an iSeries file to help you learn just how
simple developing with JSP can be.
