Externalize Database Processing - Version 2

This is the updated version of the code used in the presentation "Externalize Database Processing in RPG". Following on from the code in the original presentation, these examples provide a slightly more advanced take on the process and contains a few enhancements, such as:-

• A technique, using user spaces, to allow for the use of the routines in a non-persistent (web) environment.
• New routines for retrieving SQL lists, quick getters and getting and setting data as all character
• Most importantly, a program that will generate all of the code for you. This uses CGIDEV2 for the interface.

The download consists of a zip file containing a directory. The directory contains a READ_ME document which contains details on how to install and use the programs

• Download Externalize Database Library and Generator
