DB2WWW

Test Drive

A few comments before you take DB2WWW for a test drive...

• You will need to create a source physical file named INI with member DB2WWW. Edit this source member and add two lines:

  MACRO_PATH = /HTML
  CONVERT_CODE_PAGE = NO
  

  The MACRO_PATH needs to point to the source physical file on the AS/400 in which the source DB2WWW macro is found.

• You will need to add a Pass HTTP directive to allow the macro source file to be served to the client. This might look something like:

  Pass /QSYS.LIB/ITSOIC400.LIB/HTML.FILE/*
  

• DB2WWW for the AS/400 does not support DBCS.
• If your SQL statements will be updating the database file, you must have journalling started as the DB2WWW program that IBM provides uses commitment control to back out if problems occur.

  Journalling of the database file is not be necessary if you will be accessing read only (SELECT statements).

Why don't you take DB2WWW for a 'Test Drive' ?
