SQL 101: DML Recap: The Two “Flavors” of INSERT Rafael Victoria-Pereira
No, it’s not bitter and sweet or anything like that! INSERT is a very powerful SQL statement that many people don’t take full advantage of. I’m going to explain its two ways of working—its two “flavors” if you will. Keep reading!
By Rafael Victória-Pereira
Most programmers are familiar with the INSERT SQL statement, and some (including me) prefer it to Data File Utility (DFU) because it’s reproducible, controlled, and most important, easy to track. It’s true that you can save all those spool files produced by DFU somewhere, but it’s not easy to re-input data or even reuse inputted data. With INSERT, a simple copy-paste-adjust operation is all it takes to add a second or third record that shares some similarities with the original statement. Read More
Programming in ILE RPG – Externally Described Printer Files Jim Buck
In addition to allowing the external definition of database files, ILE RPG lets you define reports externally.
By Brian Meyers and Jim Buck
Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from chapter 3 of Programming in ILE RPG, Fifth Edition.
Externally describing printer files offers many of the same benefits as externally describing database files. In particular, this method lets you change a report format without changing the source code of the program that produces the report—a wise approach to application maintenance. Also, if you externally define printer files, you can use a system utility, such as RDi’s Report Designer, to help you design the report’s layout visually on your workstation. The utility then generates the DDS required to describe the report so you don’t have to do the grunt work of figuring out line position and spacing entries. (Appendix B covers Report Designer in more detail.) Read More
