i5_query etcetera will be replaced by db2_exec, i5_program_call should be processed by the new Compatibility Wrapper for IBM i Toolkit for PHP. We have al lot of scripts that used i5_query, so a lot of work, and not the "limited changes needed" as expected.
But, I'l get there in the end, I hope. At this moment I ran into a problem when I use function "i5_data_area_write" (and probably the same issue with "i5_data_area_read".
I'm trying to change the *LDA (Local data area) of the job, before doing a i5_program_call. When changing the *LDA, a library as a parameter is not allowed. The New Toolkit, however is adding the *CURLIB parameter as can be seen in the debug output below.
Code: Select all
