They allow users to activate function keys, launch macros and scripts, execute strings on a 5250 screen as if they had been typed on an iSeries 400 command line or an input-capable field, and launch a Web-browser from inside an RPG program. Joe Hertvik shows you how to set up hotspots and gives you tips for using them. >> CLICK here for the full tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci783171,00.html ============================================================= Answers to Other Administrator Questions ============================================================= 1. Add lots of info to your sign-on screen Although placing message fields on a sign-on display will allow you to modify the content displayed at sign on, needing a different message field for each line makes it irritating to work with. Fortunately, you can get the same display capability by using just a single message field. Check out this tip for the details. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci754602,00.html 2. Reorganize physical files automatically This tip consists of two CL programs and one RPG program. The first CL program creates a work file of the files in a given library. The second CL program reorganizes the file, meeting the percentage that is coded in the RPG program. Check it out, it may save you some time. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci780296,00.html 3. Delay in response time This member noticed a delay in response time when comparing HOD/Screen Customizer to WebFacing. He's planning on creating a Host Publisher 'view' of the same application as a part of a demo Web site and is wondering if he will experience the same delay with HP. Check out this forum to see what advice he received from his peers. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^1@.ee84637/185!viewtype=convdate&skip=&expand= 4. Maximum limit to the number of records within a file One member writes, "Is there a maximum limit to the number of records that can be contained in a file or a member within a file? I've heard that there is a limit of 1 billion records, but I don't know if that's on a file or member level, or if it's even true to begin with." Site expert Richard Belles offers some advice. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid419454_tax285222,00.html ============================================================= What other systems management issues do you have and/or need to be addressed?
