This is the best channel for AS400. Congrats! Keep the videos coming ... Thanks a lot!

[@higiniofuentes2551]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH Yusuf! You saved my mental health! I was tempted to give-up, but thanks to your video I see the light again! Very quick speaking but a lot of content. Very good explanation about the concepts as well. I have suscribed to your channel right now!

[@yusy4code]

Higinio Fuentes thanks for ur encouraging comments . Will do my best ...

[@MrFdnunez]

Thank you Yusuf, it helps me a lot!!

[@Mr.100NU]

First of all thanks for because your video is very for rvery one

[@ash0047]

Great video.Upload display files with CLE program..

[@higiniofuentes2551]

Hi Mohammed, I'm trying to adapt your kind code to the all free code, then I have replaced the F definition with Dcl-F CALCD WorkStn ; of course starting at column 8. SEU give me an error: Opérateur d'affectation requis pour l'opération EVAL (I know, is in french!). Any idea? Thank you in advance! Higinio

[@higiniofuentes2551]

Ok I found the issue! Is because PDM/SEU don't recognize the All Free format version 7.1 and beyond. The solution is to use F13 in SEU and then put to N the syntax checking. I found the answer in www.rpgpgm.com/2013/11/tr7-available-today.html Thank you Higinio

These videos are great, really helpful. I hope to get a better job after acquiring this knowledge. one question, how can I convert the time in the output display file to my time zone ?

[@yusy4code]

Andrew thank you... you can covert timestamp from one format to another using in built API. Pls refer below my blog. yusy4code.blogspot.sg/2017/03/time-zone-component-in-as400-have-you.html?m=1

Great video. I just wondering when using 0 as first or second number when adding, subtracting, or multiplying, the zero should stay visible. eg. 0+11=11 or 11+0=11 instead of _+11=11 or 11+_=11 or perhaps 0+0=0 instead of _+_=0(_ represents blank) I did an exponent op code using ^ by making the 2nd number equal to the 1st number I typed in. Now I'm just trying to figure out the square root formula to work before programming that calculation.

[@abhired3919]

I have created a rpgle program and Dspf file Now how can I see the output please reply me

[@haiprazzad7568]

Thanks Yusuf. Your videos are really helpful. As soon as you hit compile, you are getting the compile messages on same screen. How to enable that?

[@yusy4code]

Take shift+f6 (F18) and change compile in batch to ‘N’. This will try to compile ur code interactively so you will get error message on ur screen itself

[@ravibharadwaj6246]

One doubt...the input which you have given is going invisible...but only output it ia showing....input also should be visible ....means input and output both should be visible...but it is showing only output is visible

[@nikitakhandelwal872]

Is there a way to shift a field upwards Or downwards after already adding it on the dspf? Like I have 12 fields to display on a single screen, now I do not have space for last 2 fields to display.. But I have space on the upper portion of the screen, so if I shift the fields upwards I will be able to incorporate the remaining ones.... Is there a way to do it? Please suggest.

[@yusy4code]

Yes it’s possible. We need to type hyphen ( - ) at the start and end of the field and we can move that by typing = in whatever the destination on the DSPF

[@ravulasatyanarayana4638]

hi yousuf , why Num1 and num2 fields are disappearing , cant we display values which we are inputting, we are showing only result value

[@yusy4code]

This is because, the input fields are declared as Input only (which means it cannot be used for Output). If we want to use for both Input and Output then it should be declared as B. e.g. +B(10)

[@Filippo579]

Hello friend, excuse me if I disturb you.... How should be declared a date type variable on a display file?

[@yusy4code]

Hi Friend, You can declare using type L. Please refer below page. www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzakc/rzakcdatel.htm

[@goginenijahnavi3497]

"The name or indicator RES is not defined" I am getting this error...... how to resolve this??

[@yusy4code]

It means variable is not defined. If this is a DSPF field then make sure you declare the DSPF in the RPG code.

[@kishorgopal7113]

Need to know how EMSG is working........ Is any field declared in screen with EMSG

[@yusy4code]

Yes, EMSG should be a output field in DSPF.

[@kaizerrexz2434]

Great Video

[@Mr.100NU]

Please upload all DB2 video like physical file logical file and JLF MLF
