Great examples from the book for subfile programmers 5 out of 5 stars.

A great resource for subfile programming! The authors had done their homework on subfiles. This book is a must...for your library and for work.

Some nice techniques... 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book showed some very nice subfile techniques, although I have to wonder if some of them would ever be worth the extra coding involved (e.g. multiple views vs. multiple line subfiles). I had problems executing the files on the diskette that came with it and, therefore, couldn't get the code to upload to my AS/400.

Editorial Review:

Among the most exciting developments in science today is the design and construction of the quantum computer. Its realization will be the result of multidisciplinary efforts, but ultimately, it is mathematics that lies at the heart of theoretical quantum computer science.Mathematics of Quantum Computation brings together leading computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists to provide the first interdisciplinary but mathematically focused exploration of the field's foundations and state of the art. Each section of the book addresses an area of major research, and does so with introductory material that brings newcomers quickly up to speed. Chapters that are more advanced include recent developments not yet published in the open literature.Information technology will inevitably enter into the realm of quantum mechanics, and, more than all the atomic, molecular, optical, and nanotechnology advances, it is the device-independent mathematics that is the foundation of quantum computer and information science. Mathematics of Quantum Computation offers the first up-to-date coverage that has the technical depth and breadth needed by those interested in the challenges being confronted at the frontiers of research.

Editorial Review:

This thorough revision of the bestselling guide to developing and coding business applications on the AS/400 features these new IBM releases, as well as eight entirely new chapters covering the latest developments in operations, IBM and third-party tools, PC and mainframe connectivity, performance tuning, and more. In addition, all of the chapters in the book have been carefully updated to reflect new software developments in RPG and CODE/400. AS/400 Concepts and Facilities provides programmers, consultants, systems analysts, and DP managers with a practical introduction to this midrange system and demonstrates exactly how it works and what it can do. It includes detailed coverage of such key topics as: navigating the AS/400; using CL (Command Language) and common functions; creating a database and running reports and queries; using development tools like the Source Entry Utility (SEU) and the Data File Utility (DFU); integrating applications, communications, and migration; and much more. In addition, the book is filled with sound methods and real code examples that will help users code actual business applications with ease.

Very handy reference 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A good book for the AS400 programmer. Quick & easy access to DDS information. The book includes keywords explanation for PF, LF, DSPF and ICF files, It also includes all the syntax rules and detailed coding examples, a useful desktop reference book

Editorial Review:

AS/400 Programmers and systems administrators will get quick, at-your-finger-tips information about all DDS keywords for physical, logical, display, printer, and ICP files. Each keyword is briefly explained, with syntax rules and examples showing how to code the keyword. This book has all the pertinent information to provide an easy alternative to IBM's bulky DDS reference manual.

Editorial Review:

New AS/400 programmers will find this text a systematic approach to data description specifications concepts and the foundation needed to take on complex tasks. Experienced programmers will find it a handy reference to DOS functions they are already using and also an efficient guide to very advanced applications. Extensive real-life examples of sophisticated DDS programming for CL and for RPG are included, which means that solutions for many applications can be taken straight out of the book. This is updated to include V4RI and V4R2 changes or additions to DOS.

Editorial Review:

In contemporary society, people are supported by computers in many ways in their everyday lives. Personal computers have an internal computer and can be used to access the Internet and for many other purposes. The name of this internal computer, an embedded computer, is rarely noted, but it is used to run and control many computerized devices. Nearly all these computers are microcomputers that are marketed in chip form. The H8 by Hitachi that is discussed in this manual is a representative type of microcomputer. Even though microcomputers are in common use, most textbooks assume that the reader has already acquired a fundamental knowledge of them, and it has become rather difficult to find good information at the introductory level. This manual was designed for future engineers in mind, and explains how microcomputers are used based on the H8 as an example. The instructions and signal terminal operation vary from one product to another, but the basic approach to! microcomputing is largely the same. The basic material that you learn in this book through using the H8 can be applied to other microcomputers as well.

Still germane 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Throughout the 1990s, IBM's version of unix, AIX, had some of the most advanced features of any commercial unix. For instance, its SMIT GUI let sysadmins easily handle many duties. The alternative could be a manual typing of what were often intricate command lines, with many arguments to the various commands. Needless to say, the book goes into explaining SMIT at some length. It was a vital part of AIX's attraction.

AIX also had the ability to have journalled file systems, and to dynamically increase the size of a partition without having to reboot the system. For several years, Solaris and HPUX required a reboot.

Of course, this book was written before IBM officially decided to throw its weight behind linux. Nowadays, IBM is in the process of merging AIX into linux. But the advice given in the book is still mostly germane.

Editorial Review:

This updated guide reviews the AIX operating system and provides in-depth coverage of RS/6000 systems, as well as tips on productivity, network configuration, and more.
