Hello,
I have the PTF applied (SI45903).
Is there an example program (programs) that can showoff the product?
(maybe a little more than "hello world" in a browser???j)
To communicate with a browser, you'll need to buy (or write) a
"handler". A handler is like a driver that takes your display file I/O
and makes a web page from it. Similar to the way a Windows printer
driver converts graphics data from a program into printer language
that's sent to your printer.
Open access, by itself, doesn't do anything more than make it possible
to hook a driver/handler onto RPG's F-specs, so that a program can get
control and convert the data. So, to use it, you need to buy/write a
handler.
I just began working for a company named "Profound Logic" who sells
exactly that sort of thing. If you like, you can get a (free) trial
copy --- I think it's usable for 30 days -- to try out our handler.
IMHO, it's the best on the market. Sign up here:

If you're interested in writing your own handler, the best place to
start is by reading Barbara's documentation on the IBM DeveloperWorks
(RPG Cafe) site.

She has some really simple/trivial sample programs included. The hard
part, though, is all of the browser interfacing that you'll have to write.
Anyway, hope that helps...
