RE: MSDS information

Joan,

If you are looking for AS/400 based image processing, Magellan 
software ( http://www.magsoft.com/ ) sells a package that does a very 
good job.  I would imagine that you can print from a green screen, 
but, I think you still need a PC to display the image.

Subject:        MSDS information

The hospital currently has a PC application running for MSDS (material
safety data sheets). We scan these images into this PC based program 
and
the PC users have access to these sheets on-line.

I"ve never cared for this  method, but it was decided by various
committees. My biggest objection is that most of our users are using 
AS/400
terminals, and access to PC's is very limited (50 hospital-wide). 
 Although
I see the PC's becoming an integral part of the hospital, it will be 
down
the road and the AS/400 will always be part of our Information System. 

I'm looking for a method or software that will manage this MSDS 
information
via the AS/400.

The current software allows you to index the msds sheets... so when we 
get
a msds sheet for liquid paper, we index it as such and scan the image.
Then when one of our employees decides to gulp down a few bottles of 
liquid
paper, we can rush over to our pc's and look up what to do. I"m sure 
all of
you have an idea of what SHOULD be done to someone who decides to do 
that
:-0.  Because I sure do !


Any suggestions ???  I wanted to post this to a group of users of 
AS/400
before I started searching for software !!
