Re: Multithreaded Programming

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on what you need to do, Ray.  There are a few ways to do
it.  One way I can think of...

Say you are processing records from a data queue and want a new "thread"
for each records.  I would then read the record in my program, and
then SBMJOB another program to process the record (that I passed it
perhaps).  This is not true multithreading, but would work fine.

RPG itself is not a multithreaded language.  You can emulate threads
with calling other programs that would run in a separate thread, hence
the SBMJOB, which becomes a separate job.

Other then this, I think we are going to need some details as to what
it is you need to multithread and what you are trying to achieve.

Jim Langston
