RE: SECURING THE DATABASE

[Buck Calabro <mcalabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no "native" RPG400 support for encryption - you'll need to write
the algorithm yourself.  May I suggest finding some open source C code and
converting it?  You'll have a much easier time using RPG IV rather than
RPG400 because you can prototype the function calls just like the C code.  I
have done some conversion from C to RPG400, but be aware that you can't do
sophisticated mathematical functions easily in RPG400, but you can use the
MI library functions in RPG IV...
