Re: Web Data Presentation

I don't think I've ever seen "Wheeha!" in a post before...

I'd use Net.Data to serve the database info, no need to FTP them anywhere.
One of our dot coms (http://www.idocket.com) is written in Net.Data scripts
using CL/RPG/SQL to retrieve database info; it's pretty easy once you get
the hang of it.  The only client side functionality you would need is a
browser.

You could achieve the same results using RPG, but you need to know
something about the API's to get it working.

I apologize in advance for the length of this post...

I have an intranet site on an NT server that is serving up the nightly
error
and balancing reports.  These are currently generated on the 400, copied to
database files and the data files are ftp'd to the NT server.
Due to the volatile nature of the ftp services on the NT server (and my own
curiosity), we are moving the site to the AS/400. (Did you know that
FrontPage 2000 recognizes the IFS as a place to put webs? Wheeha!)

My question is, how would you access these error and balancing reports
without requiring additional desktop functionaility?

a) CPYTOSTMF
b) ASP pages
c) standalone CGI programs
d) NET.DATA
e) servlets and JSP's served up with WebSpere
f) output converted to PDF files
