The prevalent use of standard FTP has become a huge security risk. It is critical to protect data transfers using secure FTP and other encryption standards. Attend this webinar and learn:
- The advantages and differences between FTPS and SFTP secure protocols - Authenticating servers using passwords, keys and certificates - Using OpenPGP and ZIP to encrypt files at rest and on the move - Generating audit trails…and more!
A pet peeve of mine is going into a CL program to make some modifications and then encountering long sequences of Change Variable (CHGVAR) commands utilizing %substring operations in order to access, and then update, data stored in the local data area (LDA). The approach of using the LDA for program-to-program communication is, in many companies, done as an alternative to passing parameters to called or submitted programs. And over the years many of these companies have developed standards addressing how the LDA is laid out for this form of communication. Actual usage of the LDA, however, is often left to the individual developer in terms of implementation. In this article, we will review one possible approach to improve programming productivity when using the LDA.
Still a work in progress, ArdGate allows users to insert, update, and delete data with interactive SQL, QMQRY, and embedded SQL.
