Learn the value of using the Job Notification Exit Point.
 Written by Bruce Vining
Back in April, the following question was posed on the MC Press Online CL forum:
"I am looking for advice on how to create a CL that will actively monitor a specific job queue and release jobs. All jobs that are submitted automatically go to hold status because the JOBD for end users is set to this. The business does not want to change the JOBD, so I need to come up with a way to actively monitor jobs for a specific queue and release jobs that are submitted. Any ideas?"

 Written by Bryan Meyers and Jim Buck
Editor's Note: This article is an excerpt from the book Programming in RPG IV, 4th Edition.
At current releases, RPG IV is primarily a free-format language, especially in the area of calculation processing. While it's not perfect, the free-format specification effectively renders the traditional fixed-format Calculation specification obsolete. IBM has introduced many new RPG IV features exclusively in free format.

Despite a general drift toward content management apps for handling document content on other platforms, the IBM i document-management market generally retains its traditional focus on managing doc content and delivery options.
 Written by John Ghrist
Over the past few years, in the computer industry as a whole, there has been increasing confusion between the concepts of document management and content management. In an article on this topic in 2012, "Technology Focus: Document Management Searches for an Identity," several IBM i vendors expressed opinions that drew a line between those two product types. Content management was seen as primarily concerned with controlling content on Web sites, while document management in the IBM i market was seen as being largely concerned with capturing and storing paper and electronic documents and controlling associated workflows.
