The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
In this day and age I like to use actual reporting products that can convert to many different formats. Write the report once in a WYSIWYG interface and can export to any format you wish and comes with viewers in many different programming languages (RPG not one of them though). Report design with these types of products makes things easy. Just provide your SQL statement(s) and the world is your oyster.
The nice thing about this too is that you can start to parameterize your reports, and users can run them on-demand with their own criteria. Something I hardly ever see with RPG stuff. With these products it is all built in with very little to no programming effort.
Things like Grapecity Active Reports, SQL Reporting Services, DevExpress Xtrareports, and there is a ton of others out there.

It's hard to do WRKSPLF from your 5250 screen and see the 'spool file' in a readable format.
Easy to work around, but still a thing.
