Bob --

Zak has evangelized pretty the Net.Data thing; in fact I am going to try it one 
of these days!  The suggestion about web-facing a "normal" app is a good one, 
although Websphere is not the easiest thing in the world to set up, and I 
understand it uses a fair amount of resources even when not running.

However, to get started I would suggest that you use RPG and the free CGIDEV2 
library from IBM to do this as a web program hosted on the AS/400.  There is a 
tutorial and lots of examples.  Surprisingly, it is a pretty straight-forward.  
Start with an inquiry program, then modify it to do maintenance.

A mailing list for this stuff: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Easy400Group/

It runs on both of the provided web servers (HTTP Server and "powered by 
Apache"), and needs nothing else.  There are procedures to setup the web 
server; it doesn't take long.

Have fun!

Hey everyone,

I have a simple file maintenance program that I need to create for our
inventory department.
