  • V5R4 IBM changes may affect mrc customers
    .

    A recent OS/400 update from IBM has caused a licensing problem for several mrc-Productivity Series customers.

    You might encounter this problem if you apply V5R4 OS/400 updates, upgrade to V5R4 OS/400, or get a new server with a V5R4 OS/400.

    You will know that you are affected if, upon typing mrc at a 5250 command line or upon running mrc-supplied commands MRCRPT, MRCRPTSND, MRCSUM, etc., you receive the error message Authorization Error 803 or *SIGNOFF.

    Here's how to fix it»

    This month's featured update:

    Right side justification data issues? No more.

    This is a major enhancement that can be used in Web 2.0 templates. It greatly simplifies development for customers who employ database tables that store certain alpha field values as right-justified data. This seems like a strange database practice, but I find it in an alarming number of customers. This right justification of data makes the data tough to work with, and develop with - especially when trying to employ tools of some kind.

    This new m-Power Web 2.0 feature solves that problem once and for all.
