- To demonstrate the EXCHANGE and CALL commands and the CALL_SERVER FUNCTION BuiltIn Function.
To do this:
- You will create a simple form, Salary Review, which calls a function passing department code and a number that represents 'percentage salary increase'.
- The called function will create a list of employees for the requested department, containing both current and new salaries based on the percentage increase. This results list is returned to the calling form.
- The Salary Review form will display the result in a list view and calculates the total cost of the increase.
- The called function will be compiled for Windows and will also be checked in and compiled on the IBM i server.
- The Salary Review form will be tested in two different modes:
- As a Windows Application running on the desktop, with a local database.
- As a client to an RDMLX IBM i Server
- The form will use a system variable *SSERVER_CONNECTED (value Y or N) to determine whether to CALL the local function, or use CALL_SERVER_FUNCTION to call the function running on the IBM i server.
