IBM SOFTWARE TO LINK DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES | News: cw360 IBM said it plans to deliver by the end of the year DB2-based data integration software. Using native XML capabilities in DB2, users will be able to access data from conventional sources, such as applications, as well as unstructured information stored in documents or e-mail messages.

Specifically, these are the ALU and PASSWORD commands using the AT parm from the RACINIT post-processing exit. We have also tried using IRXJCL and passing parms to a Rexx exec, but the IRXJCL doesn't let you issue authorized commands in the exec. I don't see where the IRXEXEC interface is any better."

Thieves stole a vanload of the chips over the weekend near Heathrow Airport in England after the driver left the vehicle unattended -- maybe to process some fish and chips. Police found the vehicle a short time later, relieved of $10 million worth of its Intel cargo. It's kind of like the legendary Great Train Robbery with a geeky twist! Several Sherlocks are working the great chip caper. They're questioning the driver, who undoubtedly has a chip on his shoulder, if not under his shirt.
