Jack & Justin,

"Services." That's what I could not come up with.

That's it!

Thank you.

Brain fart day.

The last few months have seen various discussions on new SQL

capabilities.

Things like getting a list of active jobs or PTF group level and

whatnot.

1) What are those capabilities called? Functions?

If you SELECT QSYS2.NEW_THINGY(. . .) FROM sysibm.sysdummy1 its a
scalar function.

If you SELECT * FROM QSYS2.NEW_THINGY(. . .) its a scalar function.

If you CALL QSYS2.NEW_THINGY(. . .) its a stored procedure.

3) Where can I find documentation on what's available?

Someone else can reply, but I'm sure if you google for "whats new in
TR11/TR3" you'll get a list

I have a project coming up in a month or so where I will want a list
of

files in an IFS folder. I'm hoping I can get that file list this way.

CALL QSYS2.QCMDEXC('QSH CMD(''ls __PATH__'')') returns that
information to stdout, which I think becomes a spool file in most
things you can call adhoc sql sctrings from. so you can parse an output

file.

If you SELECT * FROM QSYS2.SYSROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_SCHEMA='QSYS2';
You will see a list of procedures and functions in QSYS2. You could
google for the names of the ones that look appropriate.
