Booth,

Why limit yourself to RPG? There are multiple, well supported, free options. Just see the periodic 'best language' conversations on this list.

First, this is a very simplistic request. I admit to being flummoxed as
to how to get started.

Then some background: I want to stay within the confines of what IBM
provides with the base midrange package. I know there a lot of various
third party tools, but I want to stay with the solutions provided by
IBM. My reasoning is simple: I want a solution that any RPG programmer
can build, on his machine, without having to talk his bosses into
spending more money for extras.

Where I am at: I have built a web site on the Apache server where I can
serve up static reports generated in RPG and then published as HTML in
the IFS. Here is a screen shot.

What I believe is the next baby step: I would like to add a flavor to
the physical file from a web page. Perhaps edit/delete, too, if that is
a small step. But I do not understand the process very well. In the
end I want to have the ability to add an image for the flavor, too.

Any comments are welcome. I am hoping I can make the Ice Cream Project
as a beginners guide for RPG programmers. "Keep it Simple" is the key
phrase.

Thank you.
