Re: The light comes on...

It certainly is possible, but will be very hardware dependent (what
is the light connected to). May be best to ask this on the midrange-l
list, even though you may want an rpg solution, this gets into hardware
devices. I've done rpg talking to timeclocks and even opening door locks
(access control). If you can find an "ascii" device to control the light,
or something talking with ip sockets pgm, you can do it with rpg.

Subject: The light comes on...

I first wish to thank everyone that helped me with "I need faster SQL".
The issue is still not resolved, but I feel that I cannot go further
without getting my SQL Performance Monitor working.  I am working with
IBM to straighten that out.

I have a new issue.  I am building an application that evaluates a
number of conditions and if at the end there is a condition of
sufficient severity an engineering manager must deal with the situation.
Currently the technician that is running the tests turns on a flashing
light if the condition is serious and a manager must deal with the
situation and then travel some distance to turn off the light.  I would
like to automate the light process.  How can I turn a light on and off
from the iSeries based on a condition?

What hardware would I need?  Simple is best.

I may need to determine if the light is already on or off before I act.
Depends on if I can simply send an explicit on or off to the device.

Thanks in advance,

Kim Spears

Or...just say "That's not possible"...and make him prove it.

Doug,

Probably a separate question is why the guy's doing this? Is he a
jerk? Is he looking for glory? is he trying to show he's 'better' than

you (or anyone else)?

Frankly, if someone I worked with tried the "I bet you can't figure
out how I can do this!" line, I'd ignore him. Or hit him.
