Re: is nmi translator off limits? -- MI400

× 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.

Do you mean that all systems should be static? That all possible parameters of all service program functions

are decided before any programming is done? This is certainly not the case with the applications I know.

We have live and everchanging systems reflecting the changing needs of the companies using them and

their customers.

Do you mean that every time a new parameter is needed to a service program function I should invent a new

name (eg. GetListOfCustomers37)?

The solution requires different tools. Function overloading helps, templates help, class members help. The rule I follow is that the function only performs the task that its name implies and it is limited in size. So yes, if I did not have function overloading, I would add a nbr to the end of the function name.

Since we're quite off topic here, maybe we should discuss this in the AS/400 NG? :) It would be interesting to know

what is as400 ng?
