Command validity checker
"Nicasas" said under V5R1 they had a validity checker program for the CHGSPLFA command. They upgraded recently to V5R2, and now it doesn't work. The reason is that the number of parameters to the command has changed from 39 under V5R1 to 42 under V5R2. He tried changing the validity checker CL program to accept all 42 parameters, but IBM has established a limit to the number of parameters to 40. How can he get around this? "CLKelly" and site expert John Brandt have some suggestions.

Need help connecting Windows XP machine to the 400
"Pam400" asks, "Does anyone know how I can make my Windows XP machine connect to the iSeries. I have to use a Twinax connection. I am using an Affinity adapter by Perle. I tried Cient Access and NS/router, but no luck. I tried Client Access Express, but I'm not sure how to make it recognize the Twinax. Any suggestions?" |
