Well do I have a deal for you. As it turns out, your 400 is already at
one with Net.Data, it having been installed as part of DB2. Net.Data is
a very straightforward, interpreted scripting language. The beauty is
that it generates HTML and XML (not that you can't imbed JavaScript or
what-have-you), so your client is anything with a browser, and beyond
browsers with the XML additions. The language provides simple ways to
build your functions around SQL statements. For example, a query's
results can be processed a row at a time, and this is the natural way to
handle the result set. Existing "high level" code can also be called.

The iSeries Net.Data home page is

Without knowing more about your situation, it is of course impossible to
say if this is the right solution for you. However, I've found it to be
a simple yet powerful language. My entire site, including caching, is
handled by it. I've written a generic function that uses SYSCOLUMNS to
correctly format display/add/change screens for any of my tables. That
code, once simmered, will be free source. Meanwhile you can find many
examples, and much discussion, at http://www.ignite400.org

Z
