  • Reader Feedback and Insights: Displaying Menu Options

    October 2, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Ted:

    In the September 18 issue of Midrange Guru, OS/400 Edition, “Odds and Ends” column, you discuss in your answer to the last question, which discusses using DSPMSGD with RANGE(*ALL). Yes, this works OK, but I don’t like to see them one at a time. DETAIL(*BASIC) displays up to ten menu option commands in a subfile list that you can see on the page at once and then roll to see more.

    Keep up the good work.

  • FTP and Save Files

    October 2, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Ted:

    I have something to add to your September 25  Midrange Guru article, “FTP’ing a Library .” When you save anything to a save file, it is recommended to compress the saved objects by specifying DTACPR(*YES). The default for save file is DTACPR(*NO), so changing this parameter reduces the resulting save file’s size about 50 percent.

  • When Good Batch FTP Users Go Bad

    October 2, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Joe:

    I set up a Windows batch FTP script to automatically transfer files from my iSeries box to a Windows desktop. I set up this transfer to occur every Friday evening. This week, the batch transfer stopped working because the remote OS/400 FTP server rejected the FTP user profile and password in the script. The strange thing is that the OS/400 FTP user profile is still enabled on the server. Any ideas what’s happening here?

    — Al

    To get an idea of what’s going on, let’s examine the following sample Windows batch FTP script from a recent article on
