BLOB Your Data for the Web
by Paul Holm
My company has been working with a large manufacturer for the past few months, building a Java- and Web-based warranty application. The primary purpose of this application is to replace the slow and cumbersome fax and snail mail system currently in use. This application will allow authorized service centers to submit warranty claims, gain warranty approval, check warranty-claim status, and present a number of warranty-related reports via the Internet.

Debug iSeries Programs with the iSeries Distributed Debugger
by Kevin Vandever
Have you ever watched with envy as your fellow Java or Visual Basic programmers navigate around in their cool source editors while you putter along in SEU? Who hasn't? Then along came CODE/400, and you were able to code right along with those young whippersnappers, without GUI envy. Then it came time to debug your code, and you had to switch to an iSeries green screen, while your counterparts debugged right from their cool editors. Well, have no fear, because the iSeries Distributed Debugger is here! Actually, it's been around for a while, but come on in and learn a little about it. READ MORE >

Database Normalization, Part 1
by Jim Coker
What is the best design for a database? As is the case with many aspects of application development, there are many approaches to properly organizing the data elements found in a database application. And many of these approaches can be successfully defended as good, efficient designs. But as far as relational database management systems (like DB2 UDB for the iSeries) are concerned, the "best" design is a normalized design. READ MORE >

Program Cloning to Prevent Overtime
by G. Wayne Hawks
Wouldn't it be neat if you could have a program write programs? Maybe you need to change one thing in a whole bunch of files, or count something that might be in many different files, or delete specific records in a bunch of files.
