Re: Number of elements for an array with DIM(*AUTO) in debug

Thank you very much.
I used it immediately and it worked like a charm.

Well I was not sure where to put my question.
The question was about the debugger and not directly about RPG even though
it was related to a RPG program.

Regards
Peder

Number of elements for an array with DIM(*AUTO) in debug

If I have an array with DIM(*AUTO) how can I see the number of elements in debug?

dcl-s elmRtex like(elmRte_fixed) dim(*auto : 60000) ascend;

For example elmRtex is loaded with a lot of values but how many elements are there?

And yes, I know, I could put a statement in the source like this ...

Re: IFS Write fails when using codepage 1208

In the code you unlink the file test1202.txt
then you create a file test1208.txt

Could that be the reason to the error?

Re: Question about XML-SAX and option ccsid=ucs2

OK. So the example should not work for ucs-2 because it expects the data received ( element, attribute end data) to be a one character code in ebcdic?

Question about XML-SAX and option ccsid=ucs2

Hi Scott

Based on an article in SystemINetwork on 14th May 2009 from you we have coded a program to reveive
and proces XML-files using the XML-SAX function.

In the xmlHandler procedure there is a select - endsl structure like this:


P xmlHandler B
D xmlHandler PI 10i 0
D ignore 1a
D event ...

Re: Reorganize spool file numbers in a job

Originally the program was part of an application that was run interactively.
Then it was changed to also be run in batch.
At that time the batch job was shut down every saturday when the backup was taken.

And now the backup process has changed so nothing is shut down any more but runs 24x7.
The ...

Reorganize spool file numbers in a job

I have an interesting little problem.

A job is running 24x7 and is generating spool files -- a lot of spool files.
The spool files are deleted after some time but the entry is still reserved.

That means that the spool file number increases over time and in about 3 months it will reach 9999 entries ...

Re: Detect CLRPFM action from other job

I have had a situation where records in a log file should be transferred to an archive file.

Originally it was done using CPYF and CLRPFM but due to the fact that the system now
is running 24x7 it was no longer possible. The log file could be open at any time.

Instead I made a program that read ...

Re: HTTPAPI 1.51 minor errors

Well, normally I would have downloaded the SAVF but Google took me to
the FTP-section of your site. It was first after the installation I found the
right place :(

So I had a lot of problems uploading the sources via FTP from my PC due to security settings. [ Lot of nasty words :) ]

I fixed the ...
