RE: New Development Project - What to do it in?

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 The VARPG package can be stored on the IFS and then have only a shortcut on
the user's desktop.  Very slim indeed.

ODBC?  I am not sure about that.  I thought it was DDM with tcp/ip.  In any
event, I have no idea how to use or set up ODBC and have never configured it
 yet I use VARPG to access iSeries files regularly.  If ODBC is used, its
pretty well hiddedn.  Performance is faster than I think of for ODBC.

Bob, it really depends on what you have in mind. VARPG would create a
thick-client, PC application that must use ODBC to connect to the as400.
CGI (eRPG) and Net.Data are native to the 400, but require one of the
Webservers to be running on the as400. Java could be nice if you need
portability.

Hey everyone,
 
 
 
I have a simple file maintenance program that I need to create for our
inventory department. In the "golden" days, I would just have copied
one of my RPG "work with" subfile-shells, modified it and been done with
it, but I want to provide them with a GUI. I figured that this is a
simple enough program for me to finally get my feet wet creating a
production GUI. Which language should I do it in, though? I was
thinking Java, but it is slow and more for "web-enablement". And I am
not sure about the production quality of VARPG. Right now, those are my
only two options - anything else would require the purchase of a
compiler. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
