SQL is the industry standard for database access, and the benefit is that developers can port and reuse existing SQL-based business logic from database server to database server. The new function introduced with OS/400 V5R2 continues to build on these SQL advantages. >> CLICK here for story: http://eservercomputing.com/iseries/articles/index.asp?id=298 MORE INFORMATION: Check out this Featured Topic: Database issues resolved http://search400.techtarget.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid3_gci843202,00.html And read these Search400.com Best Web Links on V5R2: http://search400.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid3_tax292225,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OTHER STORIES In addition to the headlines below, others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html IBM'S SERVER GROUP MARKETING STRATEGY FOR 2002 | Midrange Server This columnist has been digging around for information on IBM's marketing plans for Server Group so you can get a sense of what IBM's priorities are.

I want to code my self- submitting CL so that if the job is in debug mode, it will not submit itself to batch.

It's true. The wannabe Star Fleet Officer has dumped Windows. The open-source movement appeals to what Wheaton calls his anarchistic and individualistic tendencies. Smitten with his new choice, Wheaton now describes himself as "the world's No. 1 Linux cheerleader." It's a sure bet that some advertising types are already planning the campaign: "Linux: Make it so."
