I have been given the task to "get on the Internet now". We have a 720 at V4R4 and going to V5 this year at some point. All applications are written in RPG and home grown. I have a programming staff of 1 junior pgmr and 1 beginner pgmr plus myself.,1 network guy and 2 operators. We would like to start with inquiry and then be able to allow our agency force to quote/app direct to our 400. In other words live real time data access to our 400 database files. Read and write. I have investigated many ways to do this. I have been given a modest budget to accomplish this. Security from management's side is not an issue until it happens. I believe the opposite and want to be smart. I am toying with putting 400 on Internet with a Sonic Wall box as my firewall on network. Either develop applications with E-RPG or use some product that transforms RPG into GUI code as you develop so it can be used either green screen (in house) or GUI (net). I do not want to maintain same program 2X. (1 in house 1 on net). IBM came in a gave us a proposal to add a 170 as an Internet box. Management immediately threw this out as too costly. Has anyone had any experience with these so called Internet tools and if so good or bad idea?
