Expert Tim Granatir not only provides a way to do that in this tip, but he also points out several interesting features in the program that apply to other applications. Some of those features include use of the system file QADBXREF and use of the FROMRCD parameter on the CPYF command. Read how you can use them to save and locate source files, as well as speed up processing time. >> CLICK here for the full tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci828666,00.html ============================================================ Answers to Other Programmer Questions ============================================================ 1. Emphasizing source code Did you ever have some particular comment or section of code that you would like to have stand out so that when the next person comes along he would be sure to see it? This tip shows you how to do it. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci343653,00.html 2. Source file information for a RPG IV program Follow these four steps to get the source file information. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci756265,00.html 3. RPG source information One user writes, "Some of our test source members were moved to production before they were ready. Does anybody know of a way to tell who updated the source member? I am not talking about who updated the line of source code, but who actually moved the source code from test to production. Any help is greatly appreciated." One suggestion was made. Do you have any others? http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^[email protected]/647 4. Retrieve the Telnet port One user writes, "For V4R5 and above, is there any way to retrieve the Telnet port for a device WITHOUT using a Telnet exit program? The API QDCRDEVD does not seem to provide that information, though it can provide the IP address."
