The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

I wanted to pass along something I ran across.
I know in the past there have been discussions about using STRPCCMD to
show long URLs on a screen. I also recall that Scott K. had a sample
http instance to capture(make) short urls.

(short)

Had a request to add URL shortening to an application with only one
prerequisite, it needs to shorten the URL without any type of
authentication. I never needed to do this so in case others ever have to
do something similar.
Chose the tinyurl api
http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url= that has
one parameter url which is the original URL that needs to be shortened.
Example below shortening twitter
IBMi hashtag URL
http://twitter.com/hashtag/ibmi
Select
cast(systools.httpgetclob
('
http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://twitter.com/hashtag/ibmi',
'') as varchar(35)) as tinyurl
From sysibm.sysdummy1 ;
The result will be the shortened URL.
