Re: ibm i 7.1 technical overview

for some reason I was thinking 7.1 was something that was just announced and
was an enhancement of release 7. So never mind ;)

Um, no, you do not have this right... Field Procedures are new with 7.1

Since IBM i OS 7.1 was announced in April 2010, it's safe to say you would
have seen many articles about 7.1 features early this year...

so field procedures are not new to 7.1? ( since it was posted about
earlier
in the year )

talking to a colleague, he says he needs a "before column read trigger" so
that encrypted credit card data can be decrypted under conditions specified
in the exit program.

I think Birgitta had posted something about field procedures at one time
earlier this year, check the archives.

The OVRPRTF to PDF works great but I haven't looked to see what happens
when you select the option to look at the output files (or even if it
shows that there are output files). I'll have to try that....

7.1 has a number of nice features. XML support for DB2. The Zend

whatever

is part of the base OS.

something called "field procedures" I would like to use:

"...To enhance data security, column encryption can be accomplished by

using

a new database
feature called field procedures. Field procedures are user-written exit
programs that are run every time a column is changed
or new values inserted. ..."
Print to PDF. Is that new? The red book says PDF files are written to

the

IFS. I wonder if they show up when you work with the output of a job.

and pricing wise, we appear to be pretty close to AIX
