COMMON EXHIBITORS SEE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC | iSeries Network 
There was less than record crowds at this week's COMMON conference 
in Indianapolis, but most exhibitors said booth traffic was higher 
than in recent years. Responding to exhibitor complaints of 
disappointing attendance on the exhibit floor, conference officials 
made a number of changes to increase traffic. (Free registration to

Dear Kent,
Is there an easy way to access the results of a call to a stored 
procedure from the "green screen" side? I want to get the result 
set of a stored procedure and populate a table with the data. I'd 
like to do this from batch. Can you advise me?

THE MISSING LINK | German firm gives talking washing machine a spin

The pink underwear phenomenon may soon fade into the hamper of 
history, thanks to a wise washing machine named Hermine. This 
laundress is loaded with speech recognition software, so you can 
order her to do things like "Soak, then wash at 95 degrees, spin at 
1,400 rotations, and start in half an hour." Or you could just say, 
"Please, lady, no shrinkage, and ask the dryer to give up that 
other sock." Hermine also can talk -- she'll give you advice on how 
to get out stains ("Grape juice? Forget it!"), whether you may use 
bleach, and how to separate whites and colors ("Get that red 
sweater out of here!"). Just make sure you can speak German. A 
speech recognition firm in Regensburg developed Hermine and 
introduced her this week at Hanover's CeBIT fair.
