The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Since some of the prev replies have recommended learning & using SQL, I
would strongly recommend understanding not just the coding of SQL, but the
performance issues and indexing strategies.
The last thing you want is someone calling the system "slow". I just
completed a project turning some .net'rs multiple joins high profile
business analysis screen from a 3 minute (why is the system so slow...) to a
comfortable 15 seconds with a few indexes built and getting the .net to not
use logical files with select/omits... iNav's Visual Explain is a wonderful
tool.
IBM has put major development $$ into enhancing DB2 for i.
Make sure management & the non-i developers know it's DB2 - a very standard,
competitive, & robust database. I can't count the blank stares I get from
people who think this is still some proprietery & strange database. Just
tell them it changed when they were running Win98...

good old days"..)
