Re: UIM (was: Re: Benefits of Sub-procedures)

The gent I referred to used it in a real panel.  At the time we didn't care
about webfacing.  And after trying it, we still don't.  We wrote some
Domino from scratch to access our BPCS order entry.  Did that in well under
a week with Domino and was getting nowhere fast with webfacing.

Hello,

UIM for help panel groups is almost as HTML. One can surely code a
macro in a decent PC editor to replace UIM tags by HTML tags when the
day of the transition to a real browser (= HTML) application is done.

(BTW, i know of a company which got rid of all their help texts and
provides on F1 just a smart link to its intranet in the form of
http://myintranet/apphelp?pgm=mypgm&scr=myscreen&fld=myfield and there
programmers collected their first experiences with HTML. There *is* a
use for static HTML... :-)

And UIM for real panels - i dont know, can they be WebFaced? Or is the
number of people using them that way that small that it wouldn't pay
off? (I guess so, i never coded one myself; we have some in one of our
products, but i didn't fell in love at first sight.)
