  • Problems with new server and PC

    One user writes, "We have made some changes in our network. We added a new server, and a new PC was installed in the old V3R2 Client Access. We are still running OS/400 V3R7 on the iSeries. In the old network, which is still available, I can see in the Client Access network, and the folders on the iSeries. On the new PC I can't see them, although I do see the printers.

  • Saving escape characters

    One user writes, "How can I send escape characters to a network printer to change the font, orientation, etc? We currently do this with a printer interface module using "passthrough". When we try to send escape characters (hex 1B) directly to the network attached printer, the host print transform utility appears to strip out these characters even though we code the print file to not replace unprintable characters. Is this an EBCDIC to ASCII translation issue?" iSeries printing and Output expert Chip Milosch responds.Ask the Expert

  • Working with ODBC and dates

    One Search400.com member writes, "I use Business Objects and Viewpoint to access DB2/400 via ODBC. Since the new year some PTF's were applied (I don't know which ones) and now any SQL that converts strings to dates fails. The iSeries is managed elsewhere and they claim there is no problem because it works using DB2 connect and Operations Navigator. I had always thought these products used APPC not ODBC. Is this correct?" PC/Windows connectivity expert Shahar Mor responds.Ask the Expert

The job, which once took two hours, leapt to a current five hours with no apparent changes to jobs, configuration or system parameters. The job ends normally, therefore there are no joblogs. On the odd occasion, jobs have to be manually terminated due to overrun. Do you have any idea what might be going on? I'm working with an iSeries Model 820 OS V5R2.Ask the Expert

  • The iSeries and MS Office make good partners

    Microsoft may be IBM's arch nemesis, but in most cases iSeries users still need to use PCs and Microsoft software. Fortunately, the i5/OS and Microsoft Office work well together. Interaction between two computers -- like an iSeries system and a PC -- does, however, require a coordination of efforts between the two machines. To help you with that Search400.com has put together a four-piece package about integrating i5/OS and MS Office.Learning Center
