ProjeX - Simple Solutions in a Complex World

Projex400

Just what is Projex400?

Essentially Projex400 is a free ibm iseries application for as400 developers and operators. 

It's an application bursting with goodies designed to make life easier for every developer, operator and user of the IBM AS/400 iSeries i5/OS. Speeding application development and boosting problem investigation is going to save you time and money. Projex400 is, and always has been, free!

Projex400 has been around since 1990 (originally branded PGMRAID it was renamed PROJEX400 in 1994) and this library of commands and applets has multiplied many times over during this time. The bundle contains some really neat tools that enable you to use provided commands or menu options to present you with data in very readable formats.

Essentially PROJEX400 is a collection of Software tools; utilities, commands, procedures or any other way you choose to describe them.

iSeries RPG Editer straight from your laptop (AS400 SEU RPGLEAlternatives)

I've just stumbled across an open source RPG Source Editor thats built around a PC Editor called Eclipse - I've only ever used Eclipse for my very infrequent Java work so I'm very excited about this.

More details are at RPG NEXT GEN which looks very promising.

This site offers some resources for working with the programming language RPG (native on IBM System i). IMHO IBM has done a poor job so far providing the RPG programming community with any decent software development kit for RPG compared to the Java Development Kit offered by Sun to the java community. Some people might now argue that IBM has done a great job by providing WDSCi and EGL. But perhaps this is comparing apples with pears. Anyway ... where is the solution?

When is an IBM as400 an iSeries or System-i or maybe a Power System?

IBM PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO CALL MY AS400!!!!

Honestly, the constant rebranding that IBM is doing is really starting to get me down. I'm losing my sense of identity. I'm helplessly floating adrift in a world of business buzzwords and corporate power branding. I'm desperately trying to think outside the box, leverage this and that while interfacing with other team players and sending ideas up the flag pole or floating them down a river in a canoe... or something like that anway.

/me makes mental note to lay off Starbucks Triple Grande Latte tomorrow. before I really lose it.

Anyway, back to the point of todays rant.

Projex/400 is a tool package bursting with goodies. A little brighter than some, but still as robust. The bundle contains some really neat tools that enable you to use provided commands or menu options to present you with data in very readable formats.

Even better than this - its FREE!

What is in the PROJEX400 Toolkit?

Essentially PROJEX400 is a collection of Software tools; utilities, commands, procedures or any other way you choose to describe them.

Everything in the PROJEX400 Toolkit is command driven. This allows you easy access from any command line. Another bonus is that you can apply commands to areas like PDM with ease. For example, if you wanted to use the SRTSRCMBR command to upgrade your RPG source you could simply create a PDM User Defined option running the SRTSRCMBR command and then repeat that for the entire source file that you have selected using PDM.

load all subfile has fixed size of 9999 records

What is a load all subfile

A load all subfile is one in which we generally specify the subfile size as 9999 in the record format itself. However, you may define the subfile size to be less than 9999 in the record format and still load all your subfile at a time. In that situation the records will not be placed at contiguous memory location.

So, conceptually a load all subfile is the one in which all records are loaded at one go before they are displayed. Also, they should occupy contiguous memory locations.

how to define an expanding size subfile in rpgle

 Expandable subfiles in RPGLE

An expandable subfile is one in which ideally one page of records are loaded at a time. Subsequent pages are added to the subfile as per the user demand.

In the expandable subfile the subfile size must be atleast one greater than the page size.

The ILE RPG program to process an expandable subfile has typically the following flow

Single Page Subfiles

 What are single page subfiles

A single page subfile is a subfile in the number of records loaded at a time is equal to the maximum number of records which can be displayed at a time. In other words in a single page subfile all loaded records are displayed at a time. We delete all previously loaded records from the subfile whenever we need to load the next page of the subfile.

Process an Editable subfile in ILE RPG IV (RPGLE, RPG-ILE)

 So far we have dealt with display only subfiles. Now we will learn the subfiles which can accept user input and process it.

Generally the following are the steps in which we can display and process an input capable subfile. The editable subfiles are very much similar to the display-only subfiles except the last two steps where these subfiles are read (USING READC Or CHAIN) and updated (Using UPDATE). The steps to process an editable subfile in RPG IV are as given below.
