Re: Create HTML in RPGLEook

It is very difficult to answer your question, because you have not told 
us what your experience is, or what you are trying to do. Are you a very 
experienced developer? Is this a new project at your company? Are you a 
student doing an exercise? Do you know how to write HTML? Do you have to 
use a web server on the IBM i? Do you know how to create an instance of 
the Apache server? Do you want to create a static page or one where the 
data changes and is based on a data file? Have you gone to IBM's 
InfoCenter or seen the Redbook about using the Apache server? What 
version of i5/OS are you on? Or of OS/400?

Start out at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter - that is the 
Infocenter for the USA - you might want a different one for wherever 
you, but the USA one should be fine. You will see 3 links there, for 
V5R4, 6.1, and 7.1. Click on one of these. When you get to the 
InfoCenter you selected, find the Networking section in the list on the 
left, then find the HTTP Server topic and work your way there to learn 
about setting things up. There is also a topic for programming, if you 
want dynamic pages, you will have to use CGI. If you just want to make a 
static page, you don't need RPGLE, just a text editor.

The redbook is available at 
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg246716.pdf - you can 
find this link in InfoCenter, under related information in the HTTP 
Server topic.

Once you get started, Google for CGIDEV2. This can make things much 
easier to do, because it does not require you to learn about the CGI 
APIs - oh yes - do you know how to use APIs on this box from RPGLE?

Also, this is the general MIDRANGE list - there is a list dedicated to 
WEB - you will likely get more help there. Just be sure to say more 
about what you need to do, what your experience is, and what you have 
tried to do already.

Best wishes
Vern
