If you already have the jcrcmds library, you will want to wipe it and download this version :-). The majority of the tools have a years worth of major functionality improvements. If you have not tried the library, this is how just one of the tools can massively help you. Pull up a source to edit, use JCRRFIL to instantly see all files in the program, the physicals, record formats, the renames, the file libraries, then you can see the keys, select omits, fields in the file, and the data.
The JCRCMDS library, featured many times in the Iseries ClubTech Newsletter and previously a commercial quality product at Rochester Initiative , is a pratical set of API-based utilities for AS/400 Programmers. These utilities are the continuing evolution for 30 years of desperate need and a hardwired passion for programming. The source utilities include quick information retrieval tools you use to write, maintain, and provide analysis of your programs. Conversion tools for bringing your legacy code up to modern standards. Even code generation tools that can save many hours of programming time. The File and Object tools provide many important timesavers, Analysis helpers, Job and Spool File finders, and quick, easy access to many other necessary functions. Also provided are Data Queue, Netf, and XML generation tools.
Your feedback on achieving maximum effectiveness with these tools is ALWAYS appreciated. Thanks to the many hundreds of persons, around the world, who have made excellent suggestions for improvement or enhanced functionality to meet their specific requirements. This feedback continues to make these tools better for me and everyone else who uses them.
All the API formats and data structures in one common copy book will be a major benefit to anyone writing their own API based applications. See the API Xref for details. See Download link for install instructions.

The XML-based source distribution method, used on this page and a growing number of others, provides a slick turnkey solution for anyone with source code to share for their utilities or applications. Check out the XMLGEN command (listed above) that generated all files on this page. XMLGEN was published in the May 2002 issue of Iseries News and also has been featured in the 400times.UK.
Also visit the Games section for several entertaining programs and some good 2d and 3d array learning examples.
