Re: SDA Green Screen Replacement

Eduardo

To put things on PUB400, use the RESTLIB command, I just learned about this - it is documented in the community page, I think. It is used for restoring a library, so it needs to be a SAVF filled using the SAVLIB command.

What the command does is restore the library to a temporary one, then you get an email about the details. You have to copy objects to one of the libraries you have. Option 3 in PDM did the job for me.

I've already uploaded it to my library EAMARC01.
SDALIB is the name of the savf

Hi Art,

Thanks for your interest in this.

I was hoping to limit initial testing to PUB400. I wanted a few people to
test this and provide feedback on any bugs they find. I just want to limit
the number of copied of the programs if there are any major bugs.
Hopefully this will only take a few days.

Then I would ask Holger at PUB400 to create a Library where I could place
the code and also make the save file (with the source) available on GitHub.

I can help but I have access to my own IBM i. Is not using PUB400 a deal
breaker?

I've looked at the calendar and it's nowhere near April 1. So, I will
take this at face value and say:

I applaud your effort, and am very glad for what you've accomplished
so far. I'm encouraged and hopeful that it will continue to progress.

I do not have the bandwidth to help with testing at the moment. But I
cannot stress enough that this is an incredibly valuable and
worthwhile endeavor, and I hope some in the community will step
forward to help.

I would be more than happy to in the future if I'm able.
