All they probably need is a status update to assure them that everything is OK. This tip from site expert Tim Granatir shows you how you can create and use status messages to ease their mind, as well as make your job easier. >> CLICK here for the full tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci782458,00.html ============================================================ Answers to Other Programmer Questions ============================================================ 1. RPG ILE debug annoying you too? (Tips contest winner) Don't let RPG ILE debugging annoy you any longer. Learn how to use the CRTBNDRPG command and stop going through each and every file when using F10. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci760284,00.html 2. Copy from Client Access without a mouse (Tips contest winner) When copying from a CA/400 green screen, if you are copying multiple pages, you can select the area on the screen to be copied and then from EDIT on the tool bar use COPY one time, and use COPY APPEND for all remaining images until finished. You need to paste only one time. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci754601,00.html 3. RPG programming standards One user states, "I am looking for documentation relating to RPG Programming Standards that have been incorporated and proven. We're looking to set up and refine our current standards. We were hoping to find up-to-date examples of good programming standards for a small RPG programming shop." Site expert Tim Granatir offers some advice. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid383393_tax285222,00.html 4.
