The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
At my client, people are kicking around the idea of having a separate
program (module) that will do any required I/O. Existing files already have
tons of programs using them, so it would be done only for new files that
get created.
The idea is that by doing that, if and when a new field is added to the
file, you shouldn't have to recompile existing programs, unless they
require the new field.
Nobody of knows what would be the performance implications of doing it.
Client does not allow compiling files with *lvlchk(*no) and any new fields
are not necessarily added at the end of the file (they want keep the Audit
Stamp fields always at the end of file).
Questions I have is:
1. Is it feasible
2. Is it worth it from performance enhancement/degradation standpoint
3. If yes, how would you actually code it (in RPGLE) so that all programs
need not be recompiled.
Thanks in advance for any advise.
