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...
