Package Exports

node-jt400

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-jt400) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-jt400

NodeJS JT400 wrapper to connect to IBM AS/400 system (OS400 operating ystem, database like DB2, programs and filesystem)

Configure

const config = {
    host: 'myhost',
    user: 'myuser',
    password: 'xxx'
}
const pool = require('node-jt400').pool(config);

SQL / Database

Query

pool.query('SELECT field1, field2 FROM foo WHERE bar=? AND baz=?', [1, 'a'])
  .then(function (result) {
    console.log('result');
    const field1 = result[0].FIELD1;	    
  })
  .fail(function (error) {
    console.log('error');
    console.log(error);
  });

Update

pool.update('UPDATE foo SET bar=? WHERE baz=?', [1, 'a']).then(function (nUpdated) {
    console.log('Updated ' + nUpdated + ' rows');
});

Delete

pool.update('DELETE FROM foo WHERE bar=?', [1]).then(function (nUpdated) {
    console.log('Deleted + ' nUpdated + ' rows');
});

Insert

pool.insertAndGetId('INSERT INTO foo (bar, baz) VALUES(?,?)',[2,'b']).then(function(id) {
    console.log('Inserted new row with id ' + id);
});

Insert list

const tableName = 'foo';
const idColumn  = 'fooid';
const rows = [
    {FIELD1: 1, FIELD2: 'a'},
    {FIELD1: 2, FIELD2: 'b'}
];

pool.insertList(tableName, idColumn, rows).then(function (listOfGeneratedIds) {
    console.log(listOfGeneratedIds);
});

Batch update

//insert list in one statement
const data = [
    [1, 'a'],
    [2, 'b']
];

pool.batchUpdate('INSERT INTO FOO (FIELD1, FIELD2) VALUES(?,?)', data).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
    //result is number of updated rows for each row. [1, 1] in this case.
});

SQL stream

pool.createReadStream('SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2 FROM FOO WHERE BAR=? AND BAZ=?', [1, 'a'])
  .pipe(JSONStream.parse([true]))
  .pipe(pool.createWriteStream('INSERT INTO FOO2 (F1, F2) VALUES(?, ?)'));

Transactions

Transaction is commited on success and rolled back on failure. The transaction object has the same api as the pool object.

pool.transaction(function(transaction) {
    const fooId = 1;
    
    return transaction.update('INSERT INTO FOO (FOOID, FIELD2) VALUES(?,?)', [fooId, 'a']).then(function() {
        return transaction.update('update BAR set FOOID=? where BARID=?', [fooId , 2])
    });
});

Complex types

The node-jt400 module handles strings, longs, doubles and nulls automatically as types. When using other types like CLOB you need to specify the type specifically.

pool.update('INSERT INTO foo (fooid, textfield, clobfield) VALUES(?,?)', [1, 'text', {type:'CLOB',value:'A really long text'}]).then(function() {
    console.log('updated');
});

Filesystem

IFS read/write

const ifs = pool.ifs();
ifs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.txt').pipe(ifs.createWriteStream('/foo/bar2.txt'));

IFS delete

const ifs = pool.ifs();
ifs.deleteFile('/foo/bar.txt.old').then(console.log); // true or false

Programs

const myProgram = pool.pgm('MYPROGRAM', [
            { type: 'DECIMAL', precision: 10, scale: 0, name: 'myId'},
            { type: 'NUMERIC', precision: 8, scale: 0, name: 'myDate'},
            { type: 'NUMERIC', precision: 12, scale: 2, name: 'myTotalValue' },
            { type: 'CHAR', precision: 32, scale: 0, name: 'myString'}
]);


myProgram({
  myId: 123
  myDate: '20170608',
  myTotalValue: 88450.57,
  myString: 'This is a test'
}).then(function(result) {
  console.log(result)
});

The Decimal type maps to com.ibm.as400.access.AS400PackedDecimal The Numeric type maps to com.ibm.as400.access.AS400ZonedDecimal Everything else (char) maps to com.ibm.as400.access.AS400Text

Precision is the size and scale is the decimals.
