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.
He envisions doing an SQL SELECT statement that joins all
five files together as needed.
If the pricing routine is that simple that a join of a couple of tables
will do it, let him. But I doubt it's that easy. The actual calculation
probably depends on other items in the order, customer type, order
history, item quantity, date, etc. Recreating this logic is insane,
you've got it already in place, why recreate it.
submits parameters to an RPG program on the System i
and retrieves the result back in a data queue or data file
Why would you use a dtaq or file for this process, just present the RPG
program as a stored proc and let him call it. We've often found that the
"difficulty" in accessing logic on the i comes from the fact that people
think of it as being different, so they look for these complex ways to
access it. At the end of the day it's a database server, use it like
one. Tell your PHP guy to call the stored proc passing the needed parms
and getting back the price. If he doesn't know how to call a stored
proc, time to look for a new programmer. :-)
