LEAD STORY

USERS SPEAK THEIR MINDS ON THE ISERIES | Search400 

When it comes to offering an opinion or taking a stance against 
something, nothing compares to AS/400 (or iSeries) users. We wanted 
to find out what's on your minds concerning it these days, so 
recently we asked Search400 members what they would say to iSeries 
general manager Buell Duncan -- good or bad -- if they had the 
chance. Everyone sang the praises of the machine, but many voiced 
concerns with IBM's marketing of the system and with the company's 
customer service.

HOW TO USE LEGACY CODE FOR E-BUSINESS | CW360
RPG is going nowhere anytime soon as companies from Coca-Cola to 
Woolworths have massive investments in it. However, programmers will 
need to embrace new technologies to bring RPG into the future such 
as component-style programming, GUIs and languages, such as Java and 
C++.

FORMATTING E-MAIL USING SNDDST | Forum advice: Search400 

"Ratherbegolfin" writes, "We use SNDDST *LMSG to send e-mail from 
the iSeries. Online help for this command suggests formatting beyond 
:/N and :/P is possible (FFTDCA controls, in hex, can be inserted in 
the text), but I'm having no luck in finding either the codes or 
samples to learn from. We're particularly interested in bolding, 
underlining, and changing the color of text." Do you have any 
experience in this area?

THE MISSING LINK | Official: Video games fry the brain

Put the joystick down. Pick the badminton racket up. Scientists in 
Japan say they've found that video games can mess with your head and 
that it's better to grow up playing outside with friends than inside 
with Super Mario. In their study scientists found that playing video 
games for too long put strains on the test group's brains and made 
it hard for participants to concentrate even after the "game over" 
message popped up. Evidently a lot of video games arouse tension and 
fear, which could literally get on a person's autonomic nerves. 
Working in IT arouses tension and fear too. How are your autonomic 
nerves feeling today? Give 'em a hug.
