> What is net data ?

Taken from the NetData home page:

With static HTML pages, all you can present is data that never
changes. So, you need to write CGI programs to dynamically build Web
pages. You can do this     using the AS/400 HTTP Server, which
provides a CGI interface. But it is not easy to write these programs. 

  

IBM Net.Data is an application that allows application developers to
easily transform static HTML web pages into dynamic web applications
using 'Web macros'. Web Macros created for Net.Data have the
simplicity of HTML with the functionality of CGI-BIN applications,
making it easy to add live data to static web pages. Live data
includes information stored in DB2/400 (locally or remotely),
databases on other systems, REXX programs, C & C++ programs, RPG
programs, COBOL programs, and other sources. 

And i say : prepare to wait if you use it. It works but slowly.
