Our issue is, we come from a AS400 JDE Edwards World A73 system migrating to OneWorld E810.
Our company like many other companies doesn't just use JDE. We have some custom systems like our Commissions system that was homegrown and written in RPG and we have other homegrown systems. We had modifications in our old World JDE RPG code that had to access some of these non-JDE files from these external systems. These files were created in DDS, not using JDE naming conventions or the Data dictionary. We have to bring this same functionality into our E810 system so we need to modify the code for certain programs to bring in information from these non-JDE files. I don't believe this issue is specific only to our company. I consulted for one of JDE's biggest consulting firms for 5 years. I know that most of JDE's customer base came over from the AS400. And I was never on a client that ran JDE exclusively, so other companies had to have overcome this issue. Our non-JDE formated files can’t be re-created because they have existed for many years and there are thousands of RPG programs over them and those systems are not going to change. So we need someone who knows and understands the AS400 and files created on the 400 to address this. It is a huge issue and I know it just can't be blown over saying just re-create those files in the new E1 environment. It can't be done for our purposes and the files are too large to try to create a temp file or something like that. We need to access this data in real time. I have read some white papers concerning SQL views but I can't get them to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I searched here on the site but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!
