Re: ** Son of RPG Redbook lives **

["Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to see:

1) more on CLI programming. How to connect to a remote server which does not 
support DRDBA (I hope this is correct) directly (like Windows); it is strange 
you can connect from Windows  to an AS/400 with ODBC, but not the other way 
around.

2) more examples how to use LIKEREC, LIKEDS, QUALIFIED, as the functionality of 
those keywords puzzles me (I wonder if they are really needed).

Request for WDSc should be ignored, as there are about an avarage of 5 redbooks 
per week published, dealing with this.

I would also like to ask, whether it is  an new book, or a revised second 
edition of the Sorcerer's Guiide? What target OS-release will it be written 
for? Code samples in /free, fixed or both formats?

Just my small input.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
