RE: General RPG question

Douglas,

RPG like anything else is a tool. The real challenge is to understand
and manage the expectations of the users. If it were me, unless there is
a real need for something different, I'd purchase a financial package,
complete with source so it could be 'tweaked'. There are many out there
along all price points. I believe there is even an open source project.
WyattERP? Is it still active? 

If your organization still insists on developing their own financial
package, get an accountant involved. 

Just my two pennies.

Subject: General RPG question

Let me preface my comments by first thanking Bob Cozzi, Mr. Clement Rob
and many many others for their invaluable assistance and helpful hints
in the past.  I have learned more from this list group than I have ever
leaned in any classroom over the past 46 years.

I have stated in the past several times my thoughts on why we are in the
process of migrating to the iSeries on several fronts and one of the
reasons happens to be the tight integration of RPGLE with standard
business models and rules, more specifically, accounting rules.  it is a
good fit.

My question relates to writing AP, AR, GL and other accounting modules
within the scope of RPGLE.  Does anyone have any reference sites,
material, etc. that could assist me in this? I am looking for any
information as it relates to the accounting side of RPGLE.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Douglas


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
