How Do I Set My CLASSPATH? Let Me Count the Ways
by Kevin Vandever
Sometimes it seems as if getting a Java application to compile and run on the iSeries is more difficult than learning the Java language itself. I've downloaded working code only to have problems getting it to compile or run on the iSeries. Most of these issues stem from not having my CLASSPATH environment variable set correctly. So I thought I would show you a few ways to set your CLASSPATH, so you can get busy concentrating on what the heck your Java code is doing. READ MORE >

VARPG and iSeries Databases
by Shannon O'Donnell
Using VisualAge for RPG, IBM's Windows-based RPG GUI editing tool, an iSeries RPG programmer can do anything (and more) on a PC that he can do on an iSeries. One thing that an RPG programmer absolutely must do is interact with an iSeries database. Performing such a feat from a PC has been, traditionally, a less-than-straight-forward process involving tools such as ODBC. In this article, you'll learn just how easy it is to access a remote iSeries database using VARPG. READ MORE >

Qshell Pattern Matching
by Ted Holt
In "The Art of Globbing," I explained how Qshell expands patterns of strings into lists of file names. Pattern matching is used for more than globbing. In this article, I explain some other ways that Qshell uses pattern-matching techniques. If you have not read "The Art of Globbing," I encourage you to do so. While I repeat some of the high points, I do not repeat everything I covered in that article. READ MORE >

iSeries Toolbox for Java: Running an iSeries Command
by Kevin Vandever
When it comes to accessing iSeries services from Java, there's not much that the iSeries Toolbox can't do. In previous articles, I showed you how to call programs and service programs, how to write to and read from data queues, and how to wrap GUIs around some of those services. As powerful as those tools are, they can be made even more powerful with the help of a tool that will do some of the dirty work and prepare your application environment. The CommandCall class is that tool. READ MORE >
