RE: RecordFormat threadsafety

You're right. I just checked the source and the DSPFFD and DSPFD
commands are used in this class:
AS400FileRecordDescriptionImplRemote.java

In your case since you have a connection object for each thread I think
you're actually just fine. If this was an issue I don't think IBM would
have used DSPFFD/DSPFD. I'm just surprised they didn't use the Api's to
get this info. DSPFFD/DSPFD is a quick and dirty in my opinion :-)

What you're seeing in the log is most likely an OS/400 warning about the
non-thread safe nature of the DSPFFD/DSPFD commands.

Might be worth a quick scan of the JTOpen forums, but I think you're OK.

Hi Richard

I think the AS400FileRecordDescription object uses the DSPFD and DSPFFD
commands to build the record format objects.

Thanks
