Just thought I'd let everyone with a BPCS installation know that you can
create a program that will automatically load the exchange rate
information on the schedule you wish by querying a website service.
I recently queried the Midrange list for help in this task and was
pointed to Scott Klement's utility and example package he provides as a
service to the iSeries community. You can find the package at
http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/ . Inside is an example program to
retrieve and display to screen the current exchange rate information for
a given from and to currency set.
I took the program and performed a slight modification so that it would
return the exchange rate instead of displaying it. I then wrote another
program that reads the GCML01 file skipping USD and a couple of other
inactive currencies and then performing the calls to translate to and
from USD.
I'd provide the programs I wrote, but there's some customizations there
that would not be of use to anyone. The programming is really so
simple, that any iSeries programmer should be able to produce a working
version in an hour or two.
