Re: Multithreaded Programming

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray,

It is hard to give an example without a description of what you are trying to 
accomplish.  The easiest way I know of to implement threads in RPGIV programs 
that read and process input from a file is to SQL and UDFs that transform the 
input.  
There are also some limitations when you run RPG in a multi-threaded 
environment.  
I wasn't aware of one, which is that you cannot apply a file override in a 
secondary 
thread.  That caused a major design change in the project I was working on.  On 
some systems, you will also find you may need to change your activity level, a 
thread is considered equal to a job.  In general, RPG and threads to not go 
well 
together.

Hi All,

I need some help on creating an application(RPG/CL) which can use 
multithreads while running the job.
Can anyone give me some direction with examples.

thanks in advance,
