  • OPNQRYF Bug

    August 21, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Ted:

    Well I thought that the code below was working for us:

    OVRDBF FILE(file) SHARE(*YES)
    OPNQRYF FILE(file) RCDSLT(fld1 = 'A') 
    RTVMBRD FILE(file) NBRCURRCD(&RECS)
    IF COND(&RECS *GT 0) THEN(DO)
      CALL PGMA
    ENDDO
    

     

    But, I just did some testing and it looks like we’ve been using buggy code as you do need the CPYFRMQRYF to retrieve the correct number of records selected in the query .

    Thanks for the article and for setting me straight.

  • Debugging Java in Eclipse

Unfortunately, VisualAge does not include support for the 1.3 JDK, so it looks like we will need to move to another IDE. We have been looking at Eclipse, but it does not have a built-in team repository and you cannot change an executing program in the debugger. Are there other IDEs that support a team repository and editing during debug?

    You don’t mention which version of Eclipse you tried, but

  • Validating a User Password

    August 21, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Ted:

    I have an application in which I would like to use electronic signatures. We are in a federally regulated industry and it is required to have this process password protected. To make things easy on the users I would like to use their normal AS/400 passwords. Is there a method for validating a user ID and password?

    — David

    Take a look at the Check Password (CHKPWD) command. It requires one parameter: the password of the user profile under which it is running. If the password is not correct, CHKPWD sends one of the following escape messages:
