Can SJP do the other useful things?


It could be designed to do almost anything. For example it can provide a very flexible and generic interface to IBM i command like this:

 

WRITE and READ the 5250 screen containing PGMNAME, REQUEST_TYPE and COMMAND

 

DOWHILE (REQUEST_TYPE not equal "SIGNOFF")

 

CASE of REQUEST_TYPE

WHEN = "CMD" CALL QCMDEXEC (COMMAND 256)

WHEN = "CALLP3" CALL PGM_NAME using calling protocol 3 for parameters

<etc>

 

Would allow your RAMP scripts to execute a CL command like this:

NAVIGATE_TO_JUNCTION("SJP");

SETVALUE("REQUEST_TYPE","CMD");

SETVALUE("COMMAND","WRKSBMJOB *JOB")

SENDKEY(KeyEnter);

 

Or

  NAVIGATE_TO_JUNCTION("SJP");

SETVALUE("REQUEST_TYPE","CMD");

SETVALUE("COMMAND","SBMJOB(BATCH) CMD("CALL PRINTORDER")")

SENDKEY(KeyEnter);

 

The 5250 screen used to communicate between a RAMP script and a SJP is really more of program data structure that a real 5250 screen that a user would ever see.
