Re: Multi-threading CRTDUPOBJ

Read the ILE RPG Programmers Guide

1. you did not state what version / release of OS/400 or IBM i you are
working on.

2. OS/400 and IBM i do not support multithreading in an interactive
(5250) job, (no matter what language you code your programs in.)

3. (page 21 of the V5R4 ILE RPG Programmers Guide) "ILE RPG does not
directly support initiating or managing program threads."

4. (page 158 of the V5R4 ILE RPG Programmers Goude) "Normally, running
an application in multiple threads can improve the performance of the
application. In the case of ILE RPG, this is not true in general."

I am trying to multi-thread the creation of some qtemp objects, but its
not working as it should be. I did check and CRTDUPOBJ is thread safe.

I have a file which contains a list of objects that I need to create in
qtemp, now I have tested this without using the multi-threading code and
everything works fine, so it has something to do with the
multi-threading
portion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
