Recursive Calls Using Subprocedures
by Kevin Vandever
In
"Subprocedures: Better than Subroutines," Ted Holt discusses the advantages of
subprocedures over subroutines, and talks about local variables, return values, and the different ways to
define parameters when using subprocedures. One advantage he mentions--but leaves for another
article--is that subprocedures support recursion. Well, this is that article. I'm
going to discuss the basics of recursion and provide an example of when you might want to use it in your
applications.

Getting Started with XML
by David Morris
Extensible Markup Language is a dialect of Standardized Generalized Markup Language. The World Wide Web Consortium created this new dialect of
SGML to provide a simple alternative to SGML for describing data exchanged between software
applications. Although XML is a simplified version of SGML, it is powerful enough to describe almost any
data, in a format that is understood by the majority of computers in use today.

Working with Parameters and Variables in Qshell Scripts
by Ted Holt
It's not likely that you'll write a useful Qshell script without dealing with parameters,
variables, or both. Qshell would be a weak and almost worthless language if it had no
mechanism to replace tokens with run-time values. If you have worked with Unix shells,
you will find the same powerful data-manipulation features in Qshell. If your
background is with IBM midrange
machines, you'll find powerful features you never saw in CL or OCL.

Test Data Queue Applications Using Java
by Kevin Vandever
If your Java applications need to access iSeries resources, the
IBM iSeries Toolbox for Java
is an excellent way to accomplish that. The toolbox is so robust that it has become an extension of
OS/400 itself. You name the iSeries resource, and the toolbox probably has a Java class to access that
resource. In fact, it was while using such a tool, which I extracted from the toolbox simply to help me
test data queues, that I thought, "Hey, if this is helpful to me, maybe others can benefit, too."
