Question about MVR operation how should the Div Result be Defined with
or without decimals
Same for Remainder Field
I have come up with various results with different formatting and want
to know best/Common practices
Example 60/84 = .714 on a calculator but one of programmers was not
getting this result with the move remainder when Both Fields were
defined with 3 decimal Places
Should the DIV Be 0 Decimal and The remainder Be of x Decimals depending
on how precise you want the remainder to be
Thank You

subject: Re: Solutions for producing pretty letters
One customer had a vb programmer write a generic tool to read iSeries
files of which docs (can be multiple), then parse the docs looking for
substitution markers like <CUSNAME> and call my pgm to get the cusname.
It produces a final merged doc the user can email, print, save, etc. Has
worked well for years.
Using the substitution names, I can add as many as needed, its all table
driven.
This replaced Officevision merge docs.
With Word, user can set up shell docs, any font, underline, bold, etc.

Hi,
We have an application that is used to generate letters to clients
automatically.
The header depends upon client information, date, type of letter etc.
The user types the body of the text in to a 5250 screen and each line
is saved in a PF on the i5. He is aided by function keys to insert many
repetitive clauses.
The finished letter is composed from client/contract information, type
of job, text saved by user, etc.
The user wants to be able to type in text as he would in a word
processor, with as much of that functionnality as possible ( bold text,
images, etc). With the 5250 screen, he has to justify each line
manually.
I've thought about using Word with macros to replace the function
keys, and saving this as an XML file instead of each line in a PF. The
RPG program would have to wait until Word was exited again.
I'd like to hear about ways others of you may have used to evolve this
kind of system.
Thanks.

Hello David,
If you are looking for free options, you could write your own VB mail
merging application.
Another option is a commercial product such as our iSeries Office
Integrator that can be used to mail merge letters using MS Word. You
simply create a merge data file on the iSeries and let the iSeries
Integrator do the merging and printing.
If you would like to further discussion your needs, please feel free to
contact me directly or check out our web site and request a FREE demo
version.

HI, would this RPG statement lose the neg. sign? PS43 is in fact coming
in as a neg. amt. but is not printing as such.
