Example: Using RecordListRowData

This example has three parts:

Java source that shows how the RecordListRowData class works 
         // Create a server object.
         AS400 mySystem = new AS400 ("mySystem.myComp.com", "UserId", "Password");

         // Get the path name for the file.
         QSYSObjectPathName file = new QSYSObjectPathName(myLibrary, myFile, "%first%", "mbr");
         String ifspath = file.getPath();
                                                                                                                                                                                      
         // Create a file object that represents the file.         
         SequentialFile sf = new SequentialFile(mySystem, ifspath);

         // Retrieve the record format from the file.
         AS400FileRecordDescription recordDescription = new AS400FileRecordDescription(mySystem, ifspath);
         RecordFormat recordFormat = recordDescription.retrieveRecordFormat()[0];

         // Set the record format for the file.
         sf.setRecordFormat(recordFormat);
         
         // Get the records in the file.
         Record[] records = sf.readAll();

         // Create a RecordListRowData object and add the records.
         RecordListRowData rowData = new RecordListRowData(recordFormat);

         for (int i=0; i < records.length; i++)
         {
            rowData.addRow(records[i]);
         }

         // Create an HTML converter object and convert the rowData to HTML.
         HTMLTableConverter conv = new HTMLTableConverter();
         conv.setMaximumTableSize(3);
         HTMLTable[] html = conv.convertToTables(rowData);

         // Display the first HTML table generated by the converter.
         System.out.println(html[0]);
HTML source generated from the Java source by the using HTMLTableConverter

Using the HTMLTableConverter class in the Java source example above generates the following HTML code.

<table>
