@notesofbarry Congratulations Liam - well deserved!

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@notesofbarry Love it - but it makes me jealous that I can't even type at half that speed!

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@kadlerio Love it! Hope the dye comes off!

@NRuggz @SiDforIBMi @freschesolution If you are looking for a free solution the only one that I know of that is currently active is https://t.co/ofmBGRLZTA - they offer free accounts on a V7.5 system.

For a fee there is https://t.co/onhmdlIpDj and a few others that slip my mind for the moment.

@DavidShears11 So please share? What was the magic bean?

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@notesofbarry So sorry to hear that - I feel your pain

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@sqliquery Sadly the assumption made by those who tweet in category 4 is partially correct - many others don't know it. I hear from people every week who think IBM i in general and RPG specifically can't create or consume web services - for example.

@rzkh When I try to recover my pw I get "... - email data does not exist or is an old PUB1 user profile." I tried to contact by email over a month ago but no response.

@AndyYouens Problem is that I have node v10.24.1 loaded Andy and your code is apparently using v12 features.

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@AndyYouens Hi Andy ... I'm trying your ODBC tutorial but the code won't run. Like many (most?) folks who try this I'm not node.js literate. Code is throwing errors at me all over the place. I added a bunch of (apparently) missing ; but no good. Can you add the text to YouTube?

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@AndyYouens Yes - works perfectly.

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@AndyYouens Thanks @AndyYouens - sadly doesn't help ... Still egt the error:
/home/PARIS/learn/node/node_modules/odbc/lib/Pool.js:25
static queuedConnections = [];

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

@AndyYouens Re the YouTube comment. I meant that if you actually added the code to the text that shows below the video it would be helpful

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@AndyYouens The way colors show in the video I can't tell { from ( and the code I typed will not run. odbc install (after a lot of effort) works fine. Used a node.js syntax checker and it said ; were needed so ... if you just post the text I'll know if it is me or ...

@notesofbarry Personally I'd rather see a tool that does what IWS does but without the overhead of the Java. IWS is way better than it used to be but still a royal pain to debug when things go adrift.

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

@HansBoldt Increasing uptake by node, python and PHP programmers plus increased use of SQL.

For SQL result sets it makes it easier. For new programmers they feel familiar (ignoring the vagaries of parm passing).

Are you going to like anything RPG does except IBM saying it has been sunset?

[Jon Paris @JonParis]

Latest in my series on the new RPG dynamic array enhancements is published today https://t.co/UFcnkx7yIc

If you use SQL for dynamic result sets you need to use this new type of array.
