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.
Even if there was a LF that supported a keyword of CURRENT_USER you'd soon
want it to do more. For example, let's say you had an RPGLE subprocedure
that you passed in 4 variables: x, y, z, currentUser and it determined if
the row should be returned to the user by signalling back a '0' or a '1'
like this:
dou %eof
read myfile;
If %eof;
leave;
endif;
If checkSecurity(x : y : z : user)='0';
iter; // skip row
EndIf;
// process row
...
Now, you could make a UDF out of this RPG subprocedure (I've done it).
Then your view could look like
create view myfileV01 as (
select ... from myfile where checkSecurity(x : y : z : currentuser)='1')
I may have the wrong character for the colon's, and other stuff like that,
but you get the concept.
It makes your existing RPG code into reusable business rules for other
purposes.
