Do you have an in-house RPG programming staff that knows your application? If so you may want to evaluate one of the Visual RPG packages. Nina on this list uses and likes the ASNA product, I use and like IBM Visual Age RPG. In either case your RPG programmers can be writing true client/server code in a couple of days. I would caution you, do not plan on just converting the green screens to GUI though. Doing so is a good learning exercise but that is all. After a couple of tries you realize the entire user front-end is different and you will scrap conversion plans. My own experience though, was that the data, the file designs and layouts, the application flows, and the whole security paradigm is already in place and worth keeping. _______________________ Booth Martin boothm@earth.goddard.edu http://www.spy.net/~booth _______________________ ubhalla@cgsinc.com Sent by: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com 01/12/2000 01:43 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com cc: Subject: Please advise Hello ! All, We are software consulting/development company marketing ERP package for apparel industry to major apparel manufacturers in US/Europe. The package is written in RPGIII. The company is planning to rewrite package in order to move away from Geen scrren look that does not sell anymore. We want to add GUI to the package but want to stay on AS/400. We have already invested lot of effort and money to emulate GUI using some packages that basically takes your green screen and make it look like GUI screen. It does not work and is not user freindly. Please suggest what language/direction we should go. We want to keep AS/400 as backend. Thanks in advance.
