Code for IBM i: Introduction and Setup (#1)

[@charlesmarchand9098]

We have been using the 5250 all this time at my company. When I compiled and saw the spoolfile appear in the terminal with the highlighted errors I almost cried. Thank you.

Thank you Liam! You have the possibility too to work with COBOL, new compile options! Can you do another video in how to work with db2?

[@ag1965]

Thank you; this looks very promising! Looking forward to learn how to integrate gmake or something like that to e.g. create service programs when containing modules are recreated, and how to "set" parameter values for compiling. I'm sure many developers would prefer Visual Studio Code to RDi, and for most of them the shown capabilities of Visual Studio Code cover >80% of their daily needs.

Great work! One question... how do you add syntax highlighting for members of type SQLPRC?

[@reggiehooks8895]

This is really nice! Thank you :)

[@glenngundermann2433]

Very slick. I've never used VS before so it will probably take me a while to get used to this. Two immediate questions I have are (1) My screen shows white text on black. Your demo looks different. (2) When I right-click a source member name, there is no open option. If I click it, I assume it opens in edit mode. How do I open it in browse mode?

Hi Liam, thanks for your very useful videos. I configured Visual Studio Code but when I try to connect I receive the error:"Handshake failed: no matching client->server cipher". The SSH server is started. Have you idea how can be is the problem??

[@juanantoniodardonmartinez1049]

Liam, Can you make a video to How to Install db2util?

[@apartmentexpertsdrh]

I'm curious about this too. Juan did you figure it out?

[@jhembelbaderna2762]

I have this error " Connection has time out" when try "checking library list configuration"

[@nechoor]

Thank you. Let me try.

[@Jimi-bx3xf]

what's the minimum requirements to connect to an as400 ????

[@glenngundermann2433]

I don't see how to add to a filter additional items. E.g. I want a filter to include specific source members: qddssrc/oesup*, qrpglesrc/oesup*, qclsrc/oesup*, qs36src/oe0162, qs36src/oe0162fm

Hey Glenn - you're better off asking these questions over on our discussion board! github.com/halcyon-tech/vscode-ibmi/discussions

[@kenmcf]

I have no settings after I connect to my iseries....

[@TomWhiteOK]

I don't have a member browser, just an object browser. And I can't turn on "Enable SQL". It says "QCCSID is set to 65535. Disabling SQL support." That's great, I've got "bigger problems". That gives me no idea what to do next, however.

[@liamallan12345]

In newer versions of Code for IBM i, you can browse source members using the Object Browser. Come ask some questions on the discussion board and we hopefully solve your problems.
