Changing names in SPLF report
"Kpatter" has a job that his operator runs and attaches her name to the user in the spool file. He has another user that needs to look at the report but can't get into the operator's SPLF. He wondered how he could change the user on the SPLF from the operator's name to the user's name. "Rmalloy" knew just what to do.

Problem bringing up the HTTP server *admin
"EJIMENEZ" writes, "We have a model 820 iSeries. I'm having a problem bringing up the HTTP *ADMIN. When I type STRTCPSVR *all, only the default instance is up and running on the *ADMIn and APACHEDFT. The job is cancelled with a SIGKILL message." Do you know what's going on?

Using switches in RPG
"Openqryf" wondered where switches were useful in RPG? Site expert John Brandt and "Charles400" didn't think that they were useful at all. What's your opinion? Do you still use them? |

Revisit your database naming conventions
by Paul Tuohy
There is something that has been annoying me for quite a while. It is one of those niggling little things that we have been doing for so long that we take it for granted. We do it for historical reasons and take it for granted that that is the way we have to do it. I am talking about the naming conventions we use on our databases. In fact, your methods could be doing more harm than good.
