Re: When will the IBM i community adopt HTML for reporting?

My opinion only but I don't think we should be generating reports on the
iSeries at all. That should be done in a GUI tool calling iSeries Stored
Procedures to get the data.

When you generate you can print, or make a PDF or whatever.

In other words, one might generate HTML stream files from RPG programs

"spool" them to IFS directories rather than sending spool files to output
queues.

One might transform HTML stream files into PDFs for meeting precise
printing requirements.

There seems to be a preference for using traditional print and spool
functions instead, but why?
