Today, at a later time than previous announcements, a new set of Technology Refreshes were announced by IBM for the currently supported releases of IBM i. These are IBM i TR4 and IBM i 7.4 TR10.
Doing a quick count of what is new and enhanced I find the following:
- RPG
- 2 enhancements
- Db2 for i (SQL)
- 17 additions
- 9 enhancements
You can read all about them on these pages on IBM's websites:
- IBM i 7.5 TR 4
- IBM i 7.4 TR 10
A few things that caught my eye when I was writing this were (links to the IBM i 7.5 documentation):
- Db2 for i
- New: PRINTER_FILE_INFO view returns attributes for "many" printer files
- New: ERRNO_INFO scalar function the returns the descriptive text for a errno value
- Enhancement: SEND_EMAIL scalar function can now send to multiple recipients and have multiple attachments
- New: SYSMEMBERSTAT view that contains a row for every DDS file member and DDL table partition
- RPG
- New: Add CONST keyword to a variable or data structure when it is defined to prevent it from being changed
- Enhancement: SND_MSG operation code had more options for message types and values for the %TARGET built in function
The PTFs for these enhancement will be available June 14, 2024.
