Michael

you will probably find more IBM I shops running S36E than EGL ;-)

Speaking of which, is EGL dead? Haven't heard anything about it in ever.

Buck,

I'm with you. I know the web apps Aaron is talking about (They're still
running, BTW.. lol) but if I could go back to update them I would.

It was before eRPG SDK, CGIDEV2, etc. I just wrote a bunch of procedures
to wrap the APIs and went to town. I built a huge customizable app for
it
to (to show which data columns to show and in which order, that sort of
thing).

They actually were done as a proof of concept that we could do better
than
the PC guys using Cold fusion. That was a no contest once we got above
1000 records in the DB... haha.. those poor CF servers just choked.

I remember back then similar conversations with people pushing other
technologies we no longer hear about (EGL, Java, JSPs, etc). RPG has
been the constant in these discussions over the past 15+ years. ;)

We all have different paths we took that require different solutions.

Thank you for sharing your timeline. I never deployed web apps for a
business, but the general gist of advancing with the times, and needs
of
the business is very similar to my timeline. I'm not exactly
embarrassed at the stuff I wrote 20 years ago, but I'd hang my head in
shame if I were to write the same sort of stuff today.
