Welcome to the IBM i. It seems you might be new to the system. I am not sure what you mean when you say a job is "...in QSYSOPR...". QSYSOPR is a user profile or it is a message queue. I will assume you mean the message queue. And you must mean there is a message about a job in the QSYSOPR...

Hello I think it depends on the kind of applications you have in PL/I, as well as which database you are using. Is this on IBM i? Are they business applications? If that is the case, I suggest RPG is better, since it is native on IBM i, and it is designed to work directly with the relational databas...

Every CLLE module has exactly one procedure, named the same as the module name. I have never done this but have to think that dcl-pr would include EXTPROC with the name of the module (same as its procedure) in it. When you create a CLLE module, do a DSPMOD and look at what its procedure exports are ...

What is the message text? And if you have the job log, it would help to see the messages that come before the MCH3601.

We need to know more about what you want to do. Where is the txt file you want to copy? On the IBM i or on a Windows computer? (I assume you are using Windows.) What is the character encoding (a number on IBM i called CCSID) of the txt file? Is it Unicode (UTF-8)? Or is it ASCII? If it is ASCII, whi...

Hi Mike

Please send in more details - what are you getting, and what do you expect it to be? Internal job ID is a 16-character value, not the same as the job/user/number we see externally.

Cheers

Correction to my post - the ftp variable is the connection - but you can get the error message if the result of calling ftp_get is less than 0.

As I recall, functions in FTP_API return error information - ftp_get certainly does. This is an example from EX3GET - if ftp_get(ftp: 'fips.exe': '/fips.exe') < 0 The parameter ftp has the code, and you can get the message. So I would use that parameter to catch the error. Hope this helps with your ...

One way of printing images is to use the AFPRSC keyword in the PRTF - your PRTF has to be *AFPDS type. You should be able to find documentation and examples for it pretty easily.

This sounds like a library list problem - you need to find how to set the library list in MIWorkplace for compilations. We don't use it here, so I don't know where to look.

Anyhow, welcome to the wonderful world of RPGLE!
