WDSC assumes you will use WebSphere Application Server - this is Java 
servlets, etc. I recommend learhing net.data if you want to get data from 
the 400. It is inserted into standard HTML but lets you run SQL statements 
based on user input, etc. It's very easy to get going. Go to 
www.ibm.com/net.data, then look for the "self-help"button in the middle of 
the page. There's a Redbook there on getting the 400 on the Internet - 1997 
but still useful for net.data. Also on the main page, look for the net.data 
for iSereis link on the left hand side. Once there, follow your nose - you 
can get samples and white papers, etc.

Net.Data is really quite cool, IMO. Good way to get on the web quickly, and 
is cross-platform, as well. I believe everything you want can be done.

I've got WDSC 5.0.  Wonder if I could use that?  I really have a specific 
"report" in mind that I'm interested in getting up.  It is the day's 
deliveries by route.  Invariably customers call in to customer service 
asking for a delivery time.  By clicking on this web "report" link, 
customer service could see immediately how many prior stops there 
are.  Next the customer will ask "Did I put fries on the order?" THEN 
customer service would click on the invoice number and the .PDF of that 
invoice (which I'm already storing in the IFS via FormSprint) would 
immediately be displayed.
