SQL would be a nice tool. Must be some alternative. Since many code
developers shy away from it for some reason or the other. That being said,
they're are packages out there designed to do this kind of processing for
EDI reasons. We use a package from Harbinger. No source code is included
however so their technique remains hidden. And the AS/400 we use it on
does not have a compiler so it's not like they generate code on the fly.
Mapping the data into a record is no big deal. This can be done with some
string manipulation and by reading the file QADBIFLD. You might have to
set up some temporary variables to help with the numerics.
Hmm, try this. Create a file with a huge record size as one field.
Declare this file in your RPG as USROPN. Compile it with level check
turned off. Use the system command to OVRDBF this file to the files
declared in your format file. I see an OVRDBF, OPEN, WRITE, CLOSE, DLTOVR
for each record in your message file. Well you might limit this by doing
control break processing based on the message format. Then you would only
have to do the OVRDBF, OPEN, CLOSE and DLTOVR on each control break.

Could you paste some sample records? And a sample usage?

Hi all
I need to do some sort of data mapping
i.e.
in file 1 I have message from other system
in file 2 I have format of this message and names of files and fields where
this information should be stored in my shop (Because format of message can
be changed I would like to separate code from this format)
How to write data to files/fields given as a parameter?
Is there any way except SQL?
Any API?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advice
Marcin
