  • Redirecting a List of Qshell Commands

    September 20, 2006 Hey, Ted

    I need a little help with a Qshell script. I retrieve a list of IFS files that have a certain extension (a suffix precede by a period) and pipe the list into another process. Now I have to also include other files that have a completely different extension. I do not want to run the command twice, processing each type of file in turn. How do I redirect the output of more than one command into one output stream?

    –Brad

    OK, let’s set up the problem for the benefit of the readers. Suppose Brad’s script currently processes files with the

  • Include Comments in Query/400 Queries

    September 20, 2006 Hey, Ted

    OK, I’ll bite. In your article Query/400 Handles Zero Dates (Sort Of), from Four Hundred Guru Volume 6, Number 25, you said, “This is one way to include comments in a query.” Does that mean there are other ways I can include comments in queries?

    –Paul

    I know of one other way to comment result fields other than the one I used in that example. First, let’s review that method. Here’s the first result field in that article.

    Field       Expression                 Column Heading        Len   Dec
    SDNOT0      shipdt/(shipdt-0.0000001)  0=Ship date is zero     1     0
                                           1=ship date is not             
                                           zero

  • Admin Alert: Dissecting the Unusual QLGPGCMA.LOCALE Error

    September 20, 2006 Joe Hertvik

    One of my i5/OS partitions went haywire recently. Suddenly, some users couldn’t run Infor‘s SSA ERP LX package, an i5 Domino server wouldn’t reboot, and some users couldn’t sign on. These problems occurred because of an authority problem involving an i5 object named QLGPGCMA. This situation is commonly referenced on the Internet, but there isn’t much information about its cause. The good news is that once the problem is diagnosed, it’s fairly easy to cure.

    Diagnosing the Problem

    The QLGPGCMA.LOCALE problem is very simple. When it occurs, some of your once reliable applications and i5/OS features may simply stop
