Hi all,

I would like to know if exists the possibility to make as a search in the screen of AS400 (all the screen, included AvPag (+)) and locate the cursor in the word searched.

I know that in HALC exist the option of SearchText and also the option of create a msgbox, and I would like to know if with that two options it possible create a tool/macro script for imitate the searcher of Excel (Ctrl+F)

Also, I would like to know the code for create a macro that find massively a lot of data and make an action with them, for example just copy.

Thank you in advance and kindest regards.

Hi all,

I created a macro script for AS400, basically with the comand "autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys "word" / "right" / etc...

This macro script runs at perfection but the error comes when there is a variance in the screen, because sometimes depending of the value introduced, it jumps a box with information (that I have to introduce Y/N (yes/no)), or just, sometimes, the values introduced are incorrected (because exceed the limit of characters available for a string), and the macro starts to fall and collapse the console.

My question is the following: there is any method that when occur an error in the macro, and appears the X in the status bar, the macro stops at that point?)

Kindest regards.

I have a CL program that adds a library (WHMSDTA) to the user library list. The command is ADDLIBLE LIB(WHMSDTA)
at the end of the job the library is removed from the user library list.

However if the job ends abnormally, and the user restarts the job, the library WHMSDTA is still on the library list and the user must sign off the log in again in order to rerun the program.

how can I check if the library WHMSDTA already exists on the user library list so that I can condition execution of the ADDLIBLE command?

Team,  I need to convert End of line Hex Character in a IFS file from  x0A to x0D0A . Please help me

Thank you In advance.

Have a pc attempting to log on to a AS400 but gets no response after entering userid & password.  Makes connection to AS400 and gets log on screen with no problem.  I even entered a wrong password to see if I received an error message but I did not.  Any suggestions?

Hi Team,

I am attempting to receive data from a data quue that is attached to an outq.

From there I take some of that information and use QUSLSPL API to get the List of Spool files that meet the criteria of what was found from the RCVDTAQ API.

I then create the pointer using QUSPTRUS API  to a user space that I created previous and attempt to run the spool list.  when I do this is not working as expected.  Basically the follow IF fails on NUMBER-LIST-ENTRIES being equal to 0.

           IF (INFORMATION-STATUS OF QUS-GENERIC-HEADER-0100 = "C"  (14)
              OR INFORMATION-STATUS OF QUS-GENERIC-HEADER-0100 = "P")
              AND NUMBER-LIST-ENTRIES OF QUS-GENERIC-HEADER-0100 > 0  (16)
      *
      * address current list entry
      *

              SET ADDRESS OF STRING-SPACE TO SPCPTR,

              SET ADDRESS OF QUS-SPLF0200 TO
                  ADDRESS OF STRING-SPACE((OFFSET-LIST-DATA
                  OF QUS-GENERIC-HEADER-0100 + 1):1),     (18)
      *
      * and process all of the entries
      *
              PERFORM PROCES
                 NUMBER-LIST-ENTRIES OF QUS-GENERIC-HEADER-0100 TIMES,  (20)

           ELSE
              DISPLAY "List data not valid.  **** THIS IS WHAT EXECUTES!!!!"

I can provide more code if necessary.

Can someone help with below requirement.....

I have a physical file with one of the field with variable length and it has contents as given below. My requirement is to substring the the IFS links just before the *OMIT for all occurrence .

For example, the i should get  /QSYS.LIB , /QDLS, /TMP/BRMS , /QIBM/ProdData ....from first record.

From second record, nothing, as the *OMIT is not present

From third record, i should get /QIBM/UserData/OS400/TCPIP/QTOCHOSTS

From fourth record, i should get /QSYS.LIB, /QDLS

Once i get these substrings, i will right it them to another file in one column field.

Sample records in the file are ....

OBJ(('/*' *INCLUDE) ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT) ('/TMP/BRMS' *OMIT) ('/QIBM/ProdData' *OMIT))
OBJ(('/home/cdimage'))
OBJ(('/QIBM/UserData/OS400/TCPIP/QTOCHOSTS' *OMIT))
OBJ(('/*' *INCLUDE) ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT))
OBJ(('/fixes'))

Thanks in advance !!

Hello. I am trying to setup a 5250 Printer Session from a remotely located IBM ISeries (V7R1M0) to my local machine using an HP LaserJet M605 printer. I have setup many 5250 Printer Sessions before using other printers (HP LaserJets, Lexmark) but for some reason after I set this one up to print to the M605 printer, nothing prints. The ISeries seems to be sending the print file normally but the M605 does not print anything. I am assuming that there is some "trick" to getting this to work but I don't know what it is. I have tried the Manufacturer and Model Type paramter to other types of printers without success. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

Here is the DEVD for the printer:

I'm looking for zipping tools that could create zips with password
for OS/400 R7  platform so that sensitive data in files are encrypted
& when we sftp over to Windows/Unix, the encrypted zipfiles are
sent over : for PCI-DSS compliance, we want data at rest to be
encrypted both at AS400 & the Windows/Unix ends.

Ideally the zipping tool can be called by RPG & Cobol

In Unix, we can 'pipe' data stream directly into a zip; would be good
to have this feature for the AS400 tool.  

Also, we have tons of logs (eg: audit trails) taking up valuable space
in AS400 so this zipping can hopefully reduce the size of these

I have tried to stop it, recreate it, but it will not let me end journal or change journal.  I keep reading but cannot find anything.  Any idea's out there?

Hi ,

I have some question regarding ICF file and its uses in AS400 RPGLE . It would be great help if someone explain me as I am beginner in this area.

1) How can I write source code of ICF File ( Please share file structure, if possible).

2) Is there any way to check , insert or delete data in ICF file as SQL and runqry does not work on ICF File.

3) How can I unit test my program or how to prepare dummy data in ICF file.

It would be great help.


Thanks
