    Relax requirements for using Ds in I/O

    The general problem is about the compiler issuing a RNF7595 when I try to use the same Ds (or Likerec Ds) on diffent files sharing the same format and based on the same PF. This is an example: Dcl-f fileA01L keyed usage(*input); Dcl-f fileA02L key...

    Create a system command to convert JSON files to physical files (PF) and vice versa

    IBM i increasingly interacts with external systems through APIs and JSON data. Developers often need to manually parse JSON into SQL tables using complex JSON_TABLE queries, or conversely serialize DB2 data into JSON for outbound APIs. My idea is ...

    Support Microsoft .NET Core and .NET Framework on IBM i

    Microsoft Corp. has "open sourced" the .NET Core and .NET Framework, as well as the .NET compilers, etc., so now is the time for IBM to bring the .NET Core and .NET Frameworks to IBM i. .NET is a major software development platform, on par with Ja...

    Display Spooled File needs to support better F14/F15/F16 find options

    Search is NOT case-sensitive so we are often forced to guess the case. Also it would be very helpful to have F15=FindPrev since we are forever jumping to bottom of joblog and then paging up to find a previous Escape message.

    See progress of RGZPFM

    When you do a RGZPFM can we see the progress in the joblog? or somewhere we could see how much progress is being made. This will help gauging how long a reorg will take.

    FOR-EACH with record level access

    The new FOR-EACH is today working on list, however it would be nice if - in the future - it could be extended to also handle record level access. ( and perhaps also user defined iterators) The basic idea is to make tighter and more concise coding ...

    Use 'IN' operator on %split to compare like in %list

    When working with a list represented in a string, with %split, the 'IN' operator cannot be used as it can with the function %list. However, it is necessary to have this functionality in order to check if certain elements are present in a string li...

    Have the ability to declare a character very similar to how we declare a string in Java without having to give it a length. Use Case: In Java to declare a string its just String mytext; In RPG I would like to declare a char as dcl-s myText char; M...
