Sounds like you are going to be fortunate enough to write a TCP socket
program in ILE RPG :-) Several people have examples of this including
in the Red Book. (Shameless plug... If you have not bought the "Who
Knew you could do this with RPG" Red Book then run do not walk and buy
a copy![Note: I am not affiliated with this project nor am I being
paid for my endorsement in any way.]). Also check out Brad Stone's
excellent book on E-RPG. You can lift code right from there to do the
output in HTTP to the requester.

The XML is not too hard, you just need the DTD (Document Type
Definition) and then map the fields in it to your database fields and
build the stream to look like a report.

You can get details on XML and related topics on ZDNet. www.zdnet.com

I hope this helps.
