That would fit for the National Enquirer or the Cincinnati Enquirer (more
appropriately known as the Adquirer......

Well...if I was totally bored I wouldn't have opened the emails.
Hmmm....or maybe that's an indicator that I am.
Hee!
Cool. Glad I'm the email equivalent of The Enquirer <grin>.

Okay, anyway, point taken.
Enough of the barrage between Aaron and me. Sorry about that. I just get a
little het up because finally IBM has given us a decent GUI interface with a
powerful tool that actually integrates properly with i5/OS (and it will only
get more powerful, believe me). Please don't hate it because it's J2EE;
J2EE is IBM's direction and if you want IBM tools, then you have to accept
it.
If you DON'T want J2EE, there are other options like PHP and RPG-CGI, but
neither of those is going to get the same tooling support, especially not
from Rational.

You're never boring Joe :-)
Long time no see buddy, sorry I missed you in Vegas this year.
I'll have to take a little look at EGL. You got me curious. If you can
affect one person it's all worth it :-)
As a System i (AS400 :-) ) community member I say we already have a
graphical interface for the iSeries - HTML for the web, Windows or
Java/RCP apps for Java. We can still use RPG with all of them and the
world is good.
I don't see any other platforms that do much else other than the above
for interfaces, except of course the iSeries and green screen or other
platforms with Telnet emulators.
I'm still waiting for young Aaron Skywalker to give us GUI for the
iSeries.
I think he's brewing something there in Mankato. Do tell Aaron..... :-)

zzzzzzzzzzz....as he struggles for the 'delete before reading' button
for the umpteenth time...

Sorry I'm boring you, Michael. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems the
consensus
among the community has been that the System i needs a graphical
interface.
EGL is one of the best options for that interface.

I think I remember somewhere about being able to get the file of
Job Schedule Entries off the IFS. Does anyone remember this or did
I dream it. We are moving a customer from a V5R3 machine that
cannot be upgraded to V5R4 to a V5R4 box and wanted to keep those.
I don't know about dumping the job schedules, but you can save and
restore the object that holds all the schedules. It
is QUSRSYS/QDFTJOBSCD object name and *JOBSCD object type.
