RE: Communication types in Code/400

There might be a little confusion that switching to TCP/IP means not using
STRCODE.

You can use TCP/IP communications in 2 ways.  One is the way you are doing
now.  By defining a TCP/IP server, you do not have to bother with starting
an emulation window and tying it up with STRCODE.  It is convenient and
sufficient for most things, such as load, save and compile.  Under the
covers a batch job services all these requests.
However if you want to prompt CL you need an emulation window.  In this
case you need to reserve an interactive job in an emulator by running
STRCODE.  If you prompt STRCODE you will see that you can also specify
*TCPIP as the communication type.

I hope this clarifies things.

Eric,

What Dave said about STRCODE being required for prompting CL is correct.

The CODE Designer handles DSPF, PRTF, and PF files.  It does not handle
logical files.

Eric,

I haven't used debug, but I have no problem with CL or CMD prompting.  I'm
using STRCODE from a 5250 session, though - prompting won't work if you use
the other method, since that runs in a batch job on the /400 rather than an
interactive one.

I haven't tried Code Designer on database files yet.  I knew that it is
supposed to work for physicals, but I don't recall seeing anywhere that it
works for logicals.
