According to the writer, it's a blessing because it enables you to easily move files between OS/400 and other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux. It's a curse because -- in the wrong hands -- FTP can also allow users to delete file members or libraries and to launch commands on your iSeries or AS/400 box. Check out this tip to learn how to use it to lock down V5R1 FTP users.

It's a hoax spreading faster than a worm looking for an inbox. Some e-mails claim the 16th century French forecaster Nostradamus saw the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center coming. One quoted text making the rounds only roughly relates to Nostradamus' prophecies. Another quoted text, which seems curiously detailed ("in the city of York there will be a great collapse, two twin brothers torn apart by chaos"), is just plain bogus and never came from Nostradamus' mind or his pen, according to www.nostradamus-repository.org. Remember this before you forward any fake forecasts from the Frenchman to your friends.

Our network uses TCP / IP. All access to the AS/400 is through SQL Stored Procedures. Timings are acceptable except for returning the data to the VB program. I have set the ODBC block size to 512 and I'm using resource pooling, but it still takes several line turnarounds to get the data. Next month I will be tuning the VB program and SQL Stored Procedures. Is there anything that can be tuned on the AS/400 or network to [1] Acquire connections faster so I can disconnect them after each use? [2] Speed up transmission of the data?"
