Re: RPG calling into PASE

I'm a little bit lost here. Why would it matter if you have shared objects? Have you had problems with shared object code in PASE applications before?

If you do decide to use a separate partition (or a separate computer) then you'd want to use a tool like RUNRMTCMD, rexec() API, or perhaps something like a web service to invoke the AIX code from your i5/OS software. (Or, you could write a custom TCP server... it really depends on the details of the project...)

But, I can't think of any reason (from your description, anyway) why PASE wouldn't work.

Have you looked at the IBM assessment tool, etc, for porting to PASE?

I have made calls from RPG to run Unix type programs via QP2SHELL or
QP2SHELL2.
For example, I use this to run a zip routine as well as several of the
Unix type routines that come shipped.
I am entertaining a similar approach to call a licensed post coding
routine which presently runs on a pSeries.
In essence, I wish to keep it simple by simply porting the binary code.
This question is not strictly RPG so I beg some tolerance.
If the product, as it runs on the pSeries, involves shared objects, is
it even possible to run it in the iSeries PASE environment?
If not, then does anyone have experience in making calls from RPG on a
regular iSeries partition into a native Unix partition configured on the
same box?
