#IBMiSample

Suppose your *SAVF name is SFFFDV1

For a PC:

To FTP to the IBM i system, you should do the following:

1. Place SFFFDV1 in directory C:\TEMP
2. Open a command prompt window (CMD).

3. Type the following:
CD C:\TEMP

4.
FTP SYSTEMNAME
or
FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where SYSTEMNAME is the IBM i system name and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address.
Press the Enter key.
5. Type the user ID and password.
6. To change to binary mode, type the following:
BIN
Press the Enter key.

7. To change the host and client to naming convention type 1, type the following:

QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1

Press the Enter key.
8. To create the destination file in the library specified so you do not need to create the SAVF first, type the following:

PUT SFFFDV1 /QSYS.LIB/YOURLIB.LIB/SFFFDV1.SAVF

Press the Enter key.

9. Now you have on your IBM i the *SAVF SFFFDV1 in your Library.
To extract the SAVF objects, on your IBM i, type

RSTLIB SAVLIB(FFDV1) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(YOURLIB/SFFFDV1)

IBMi (AS400) fans only ‘ Memories (IBM Coding Forms)

 IBM Coding Forms Oh mom! No, not my sweet, sweet natural mom, but IBM, the mother of us RPG programmers. The adventure with IBM began way back in 1992 when my friend said to me: "They need smart guys at a software house in Cesena!" And thanks to my dear friend, I ended up there, amidst the hills, good wine, Piadina Romagnola, and fresh pasta! It was December, and the company was an IBM partner. They asked me to take a course followed by an exam at IBM in Bologna. If I passed the test, they would hire me. Boom! Just 20 days later, there I was, at work! I started tinkering with the legendary IBM S/36 - today considered an informatics relic, but I swear, back then, it was a powerful machine! The first program I wrote, believe it or not, was on paper provided by the ancient scribes of IBM. Yes, I handwrote a program on paper. It felt more like a grandma's recipe than the result of my hard-earned studies! The "boss" said: "It looks decent, but load it onto the

IBMi (AS400) fans only ' SQLCODE values: Dear readers, unleash your suggestions!

This RPG code uses a DOU loop to fetch data from a cursor named C1 until the SQLCODE is not equal to 0, indicating the end of the recordset. Inside the loop, it clears a data structure (RecordDsC1), fetches data into it, and then checks if the fetch was successful. If successful, it assigns values and writes to an output file. After the loop, it checks if the SQLCODE is not 100, indicating unexpected termination, and displays a warning message if needed. // Loop until SQLCODE is not equal to 0 dow sqlCode = 0 ;   // Clear the data structure RecordDsC1   clear RecordDsC1;   // Fetch data into RecordDsC1 using cursor C1   exec sql fetch C1 into :RecordDsC1;   // If fetch was successful (SQLCODE = 0)   if sqlcode = 0 ;     // Assign values and write to output     W1QUEU = rDsW1QUEU;     write W1SF1;   endif; enddo; // Check if SQLCODE is not 100 (indicating unexpected termination) if sqlCode <> 100;   // Build a warning message   wMsg='Warning: +    The selection has terminated

Efficient WRKSPLF with WSF: How to Search string into spooled files, Sort, and Generate PDFs on IBMi

Searching Spooled Files Made Easy: A Unique Solution Managing spooled files efficiently is crucial for users dealing with numerous rows of print data. IBM's WRKSPLF command provides a standard way to interact with spooled files, but it lacks certain features that can significantly enhance user experience. In this article, we'll delve into a powerful functionality that IBM doesn't offer — the ability to search among spooled file lists. Our goal is to highlight the advantages of this capability and introduce a practical solution. The Limitations of Standard WRKSPLF While the WRKSPLF command is a handy tool for working with spooled files, it falls short in certain aspects. One prominent limitation is the inability to search efficiently through the list of spooled file rows. Users often find it challenging to quickly locate specific files based on criteria like creation date, status, or content. Introducing a Unique Solution: WSF (WorkSpooledFiles) To address the limitations of
