Hello James,
You might want to consider a document management product such as our
WebDocs software.
We have customers tracking all of the types of documents you mentioned
and have tied lookups and searches into their ERP screens as well for
single click access to all their important job documents.
If you're interested in discussing your needs further, please feel free
to contact me directly offline or I can have one of my salespeople
contact you if you like.
The best part is that this software complements the iSeries, doesn't
replace it :-)
Regards,
Richard Schoen

subject: Looking for GUI software for a metal processing shop
Hi everyone,
I have a customer that needs a program that tracks specifications,
testing results, job steps, and procedures for parts that are in a job
(work order). It must be a graphical program as they need to attach
photographs as part of the specifications. They have found a software
vendor who sells software that meets their needs, but it also replaces
everything their AS/400 currently does and they don't want to move off
of the AS/400.
So they are looking for a software package that can fulfill this
"traveler" need and integrates with the System i so that they can
continue to use it for everything else.
Are you aware of any software that meets the above requirements? It
doesn't necessarily have to run on the System i, but it must integrate
with it.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on the
design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond when
you're done reading them :)
