The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Write file to AS400 using iSeries Client Access

Asked by pprater1 in RPG Programming Language, .NET, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: VB.Net, iSeries Client Access

I have a program that is written in VB.Net that is intended to do some work in a Windows environment while a AS400 environment is offline.  When the AS400 environment comes back online, I want to be able to:

1) write the work out to a file that I can upload to the AS400 in a predetermined location
2) make a call to an AS400 program to read the uploaded file and process

The work is easily written to the file in that each line will represent a record and the fields are already defined in the AS400 program.  I am already using the cwbx.dll module to connect and make calls to the AS400 program.  I am currently doing this line by line in that for each line of work done in the Windows environment I am creating a cwbx Parameter List and making a cwbx.Program call using that Parameter List against the AS400.  So far I cannot get this to work and instead of beating a dead horse (and at the same time making it more efficient) I want to write out all of the changes to a file and let the program loop through the file until it has exhausted the records.    

What I do not know how to do is to write the file to the AS400 to be picked up on easily by the AS400 program.  I am in no shape or form familiary with AS400 architecture or lingo.  You'll have to answer this as if I know nothing of the subject.  Thanks in advance!
