Hi experts,
I have some pointer questions for some time, but now I finally want to know. :-)
Why Can't I use :
callp MyProgram(%addr(Var1:%addr
This give a compile error.
Why Can't I use a pointer in my pi parameter directly?
a Data-structure based on a incoming parameter pointer will show only '*****' values.
(now I have to base it an an other pointer, and fill that one with the parameter value).
I did read the Scott version of "messing around with pointers", but I cant find the answer there :-)

I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2016 from an IBM-i (V7R3) to populate a table used as a data source for a drop down selector (LaserFiche Forms)
I am currently running a C# program on a 3rd box, calling an IBM-i program to create the data on the IBM-i, then create a collection in C# from that data, and finally running a set of SQL statements on the MS SQL Server to re-populate the data there.
I'd really like to eliminate this middle tier and go straight from the IBM-i to SQL Server.
I've tried Scott Klement's JDBCR4 but I can' t get it to connect to the SQL Server. I'm using the MS JDBC driver - sqljdbc42.jar file. I've tried using my domain login and also tried to create an ID in the SQL instance but neither of those worked.
Any help/examples would be appreciated.

I was sending XML in SOAP envelope to a web consuming server here at Lone Star. The Web consuming service has now switched from XML to JSON. Does the SOAP envelope change? If so in what way? I'm attaching the actual output to the Web Service. Using Krengeltech's RPG-XML to generate the XML data formatted and wrapping it in the SOAP envelope. Krengeltech also has a JSON api to perform the data mapping in JSON instead of XML. I need help creating the 'wrapped' soap statements

Hi Experts,
I have some SQLRPGLE problems with reading a tabel (with null capable fields)
The program reads a record in a DS , change 2 fields and write it to a remote (identical) table.
But I have to add a null "check field" per field
exec sql fetch next from cIMPH INTO
:DS_REFERENCE :ISNUL1,
:DS_CONTEXT :ISNUL2,
:DS_OBJECT_TYPE :ISNUL3;
In this example it's not a problem, but I need to do this for a file with round 100 fields.
So I prefer to use the SQL
exec sql fetch next from cIMPH INTO :DS;
On top of that, if I use the null-check field, the original field contains a space or a zero.
the remote table expect null values.
How can I solve this?

Hi Experts,
After creating several tables with SQL (because of the naming I have to use), I have in my Data Library files with names as CUST_00001 and PROD_00001 (as expected),
The field names in the files from DB2 site, are numbered CDTA_00001, CDTA_00002 etc. (also as expected),
I prefer to have the SQL field names in my SQLRPGLE program, so that I can create a readable (maintainable) program, is there a way to manage that?
Thanks

We have very large Journal receiver (about 61 Gig) on the system journal QAUDJRN. We will be swapping the receiver and changing it to be managed by the system, but I am wondering how long the CHGJRN command will take with a receiver that is so large.
Does anybody have any experience of changing journal receivers? and know how much time the process usually takes?

I have an application AS400/iSeries application that i am using to scan receipts into the warehouse.
The scanner is a Zebra TC20 scanner. (droid based) I am using the Mochasoft emulation. Pretty vanilla.
When I scan into a field, I would like the program to advance to the next field to be ready to scan. I am using the DDS keyword Check(ER) on the fields. but that doesn't seem to make a difference. If I scan data that is the exact same size as the field, then it does advance. But the part# is like 10 long, but I am only scanning 5 characters. It needs to jump down to the qty, but doesn't. It will if you press tab on the device.
Any way to make it do this? this is my program.

Hi Experts,
In a CL I collect information about *.CSV files in a specific IFS map. /mypath/*.[Cc][Ss][Vv]
The output is redirected to an existing file /QSYS.LIB/PRODLIB.LIB/MYFI
QSH CMD('find /mypath/*.[Cc][Ss][Vv] > /QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYFILE
On our developementserver it worked fine.
Now we transfered the software to the testenvironment on the production server
find /mypath/*.[Cc][Ss][Vv] > /QSYS.LIB/TESTLIB.LIB/MYFI
And it still works as expected.
Once we tried it on the Production environment, it stop working, (the /PRODLIB is located on ASP1).
so I added /IASP1 to the path,
find /mypath/*.[Cc][Ss][Vv] > /IASP1/QSYS.LIB/PRODLIB.LI
and still get the error:
qsh: 001-0055 Error found creating file /IASP1/QSYS.LIB/PRODLIB.LI

HI All,
I've been trying to figure out why there would be such a difference in doing an Insert Into query to my local iSeries vs my remote iSeries through MS Access. I have a simple query that has about 3800 rows of data and 4 columns. There are keyed values in both the table on the iseries and in access. When I do the Insert Into query to the iSeries in my building, it is super fast, just as quick as doing a file transfer. When I do the same query to my remote iSeries, it takes super long and appears to do it in junks. Both ODBC configurations are the same and I'm puzzled as to what is going on. My current work around is to do a file transfer outside of Access, but I'd really like to just put the data right into the table through Access without opening another table.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions on things I can try or look at to make the data transfer quicker through Access?

HI,
I have a Model 9406-170 with OS: V4R4M0
I can login to this system via FTP and navigate to the AS400 library (MFG.PMS) that I want to download files from. I have verified through green screen that the files PMCR06.PGM and PMCR06CL.PGM exist in this library.
My FTP "pwd" command output:
257 "MFG.PMS" is current library
My FTP "ascii" command output:
200 Representation type is ASCII nonprint.
My FTP "get PMCR06.PGM" OR "get PMCR06" command output:
550 File PMCR06 in library MFG.PMS not found.
550 File PMCR06.PGM in library MFG.PMS not found.
So I attempted FTP command "dir" and get this output:
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
126 Member *ALL not found in file *ALL in library MFG.PMS.
250 List Completed.
NOTE: I ultimately want to do the following via FTP...
1) Start FTP session.
2) Set FTP session to ASCII.
3) Set FTP session to not prompt.
4) Navigate to an AS400 library.
5) Download all files in the library via FTP command mget *
Repeat starting at step 4.
I'm new to the AS400 but not FTP. Anyone have any tips?
Thanks!

Hi All
Greetings!!!
Hope you are well.
I need to copy a Schema from one machine to other machine,
Both machines have Db2 instance of same version (10.5)
But Schema is having data of LOB data type.
Which method is simple to copy the entire schema with structure and data.
I know ADMIN_COPY_Schema only supports on same machine and under same instance .
But db2move utility does not support LOB data type (I think).
Any inputs on this Please.
Thanks in Advance!!!!
