Empower Users with Embedded SQL
by Kevin Vandever
Do you want to provide your users with maximum subfile flexibility, but are tired of open query files,
multiple logical files, and placing all your selection logic inside RPG? Whether you're just a considerate
programmer, you want the users off your back, or you're simply interested in learning cool technology, it
might be time for you to give embedded SQL a whirl and give the power back to the users, by letting them
sort and select the data how they want, dynamically.

Fun with VARPG Radio Buttons
by Shannon O'Donnell
In the last issue, I introduced you to the integrated development environment of IBM's VisualAge for RPG by showing you how to add a couple of
buttons to a GUI Form and then display some text in a form's static text part. In this issue, I'm going to
show you one way you might expand on the idea of adding text, by using radio button parts to control what
text appears on the Form.

Simplify JSP Applications with JavaBeans, Part 2
by Richard Shaler
In my last
article, I illustrated how to simplify a JSP application by pulling some logic out of the JSP and placing
it in a JavaBean. In this article I'll illustrate how you can make the JavaBean more reusable than it was in
the previous article. The JavaBean will become truly independent of any other component of the
application. The modified JavaBean will be much easier to plug into essentially any application that may
need it.

Stream I/O in Qshell
by Ted Holt
To those of us who use IBM midrange computers, a file is an organized set of structured data that can be
accessed sequentially or randomly. In a Unix system, however, a file is an unorganized stream of characters
that can be processed sequentially. These are two different concepts, and because Unix and Unix-like
computing are everywhere, iSeries professionals should understand both of them. This article deals with the
use of stream files in the iSeries' Qshell environment.

The iSeries Toolbox for Java Does Service Programs
by Kevin Vandever
In "Calling a
Program Using the iSeries Toolbox for Java," I called an RPG program from a Java class with the help
of an XML extension called PCML. In "The Basics of ILE Service
Programs," I provided the inner workings of a service program and listed some of its advantages. Now
I'll combine the two techniques and call service programs from Java using the toolbox. It's not as important
as combining peanut butter and chocolate, and it may have its limits, but it won't rot your teeth.

Learning Java by Example
by Shannon O'Donnell
Sometimes all you want is for someone to simply show you how to do something because you don't have
the time to research it on your own. Sometimes we all feel that way, because we have way too much to do.
So what the heck? Let's take one article and forget about the how's and the why's and instead concentrate
only on the how-to. In this article, I'm going to show you how to use Java to accomplish some useful and
unique tasks.

Thanks for the informative article
["VisualAge for RPG: Who Knew It Was So Much Fun?"]. VARPG is something that
interests me, but I have not yet had an opportunity to use it. Hopefully, I will have the chance when we
install V5R1 in a month or two.
After reading the article, I have some questions for you. . .
