RE: RPG 400 code on the NET

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess what I would like is better documentation, with source code in the
documentation, because I'm still gun shy about  trying new API's on our
system.  We develop  on a production machine.  And I'm afraid to try new
API's just in case I might crash our machine.  I have heard that it's not
possible, but for some reason, if there's a way to crash the 400 I seem to
be able to find it.  ( I even managed to do it hitting F10 in the debugger,
**Some one missed a PTF** )

I guess what I'm really asking for is the correct RPG code to call each API.
What does the API expect, and what should I expect back from the API.  For
some reason I'm just not capable of fully utilizing the API manuals...  Any
how, I hope everyone has a great day, and remember, 01/01/00 is almost
here...  Any one willing to make any bets on what's going to happen?  Small
hiccup or world failure, I say Big Hiccup...

        Chris,

        Tim Hatzenbeler said he'd like to see example code from IBM. I
assume he
        meant written by them. Personally I don't think they're necessarily
the best
        people to produce example application code - it's not what they do
day in
        day out, and it's not what they excel at. I'm not in any way
denigrating
        them - they're just not application programmers - they write
operating
        systems. The best application code comes from the best application
        programmers.
