Re: IBM i messages

Hi Paul,

I'm not an IBM i (OS/400) person but had to learn parts of it to port my 
applications to IBM i.

I use QMHSNDPM in IBM i, the same I use ReportEvent on Windows or syslog 
on Linux/Unix.

later

There are a lot of examples to be found by Google but those examples always assume context with some actual program implementation. Also, there is documentation from IBM, which largely assumes being born in the OS/400 world.

In the end, the programming language shouldn't matter for better understanding. I'm writing to this group because I assume that people programming in C might have a background from other operating systems.
