RE: SQL Field not Useable

I read a sci-fi story once where a man felt inadequate because he could
not use the learning machines.  Those who did, knew the subject better
and more intuitively than he did.  His mentor explained to him that
those who could use the learning machines were learning by rote and had
no real understanding of the subject.  Those who had to learn slowly and
by actual study, were the innovators because as they studied they made
connections that the other couldn't.  So all advancements were by those
who had to do the work and not by those who used the machines.

Don't know how this applies but it came to my mind with your statements.

Odd.  I get a different sensation.  There are few basic questions asked
here
in my mind. 

 

Of course the explanation is simple, Joe.  As you learn, the same level
of
questions appears to become more and more basic.  I, on the other hand,
learn slowly.  So the level of questions asked still seems the same to
me.



ah well...  i try.  :)



I do like the for/endfor loop though.

They're not stupid, Brian, just standard newbie fare.

 

There should probably be an RPG-101 and/or an SQL-101 list.  The number

of basic questions seems to be on the rise, especially regarding SQL.

Then again, the iSeries is an obsolete platform and RPG is a dead

language, so why bother?  <g>
