RE: Lansa/MRC Users

Hi Richard,

        Our shop has been using Visual Lansa using the Framework option to
redesign our whole system from the ground up.  We have been using the
package for about 8 months.  Visual Lansa allows you to create business
applications within a GUI environment. Ex: Grids, Lists, radio buttons,
Drop-down boxes, etc.. The Framework is an optional extension to the package
that gives you an MS-Outlook style user interface for the developer as well
as the end user.  There is a LANSA User group out on YAHOO called LANSA2
that you could check out to get a better feel for the package.  I must warn
you that the learning curve may be a bit longer than there salesmen might
tell you.  And there documentation is not the greatest.  But the package is
pretty nifty.  As another poster mentioned, you develop applications on the
PC and can utilize a local SYBASE for data or set up your environment to
work directly with a database residing on the AS400.  Since our task is
quite large here, we have not gotten into there Web software yet, although
we have future plans to do so.  Hope this helps.

Hello All, 

We are currently evaluating tools for iSeries and Cross Platform 
Development. 

Has anyone here used Lansa or the MRC Productivity Series products ?

Any input is appreciated.
