I have had a situation where records in a log file should be transferred to an archive file.

Originally it was done using CPYF and CLRPFM but due to the fact that the system now
is running 24x7 it was no longer possible. The log file could be open at any time.

Instead I made a program that read ...

Well, normally I would have downloaded the SAVF but Google took me to
the FTP-section of your site. It was first after the installation I found the
right place :(

So I had a lot of problems uploading the sources via FTP from my PC due to security settings. [ Lot of nasty words :) ]

I fixed the ...

We have located the cause.

It turned out that the *SYSTEM certificate store was corrupt.
After deleting it and creating it again everything worked like a charm.

I have just changed the server from http to https in my program.
It has worked OK as long as I used the http protocol.
Only the constant http://myServer in my program was changed to https://myServer and the program was compiled OK.

myServer is of course changed to use the https protocol.


Now I ...

I have just updated HTTPAPI to version 1.51 and have found some minor errors.

1) The version number is still 1.49.
2) The source EXAMPLE13 is marked as RPGLE -- it should be SQLRPGLE -- a typo in upload.bat
3) And final, not an error - The text describing the members is missing.

Does anybody have a good idea how to handle this?

In the documentation for XML-SAX it is possible to specify that the data passed to
the XML-handler is in a certain CCSID. So it is possible to specify CCSID=1208 ( UTF-8 )



P xmlHandler B
D xmlHandler PI 10i 0
D ignore 1a
D event 10i 0 value
D string * value
D stringLen 20i 0 value
D ...

Yesterday I had an RPG-program where the XML-SAX command failed with error code 6.

After googling what this means, I found out that the cause was a character that couldn't
be converted from UTF-8 to EBCDIC. I think it was the "hat" ^
character that somebody had hit accidently.

This program is ...

Depending on the version of the operating system the problem is that the file has the wrong CCSID.
I assume it is 1252 ( Windows character set )

You have to change it to 1208 ( UTF-8 )
CHGATR OBJ('myFile.xml') ATR(*CCSID) VALUE(1208)

If the file is greater than 2GB then you have to add O_LARGEFILE to the open flags

You can read more about it here:

In the IFSIO_H copy source it is defined like this:
