Re: ibm i 7.1 technical overview

I think Birgitta had posted something about field procedures at one time earlier this year, check the archives.

The OVRPRTF to PDF works great but I haven't looked to see what happens when you select the option to look at the output files (or even if it shows that there are output files). I'll have to try that....

7.1 has a number of nice features. XML support for DB2. The Zend whatever
is part of the base OS.

something called "field procedures" I would like to use:

"...To enhance data security, column encryption can be accomplished by using
a new database
feature called field procedures. Field procedures are user-written exit
programs that are run every time a column is changed
or new values inserted. ..."
Print to PDF. Is that new? The red book says PDF files are written to the
IFS. I wonder if they show up when you work with the output of a job.

and pricing wise, we appear to be pretty close to AIX
