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

Maybe you should ask Obama to introduce Danish saleries that removes
paper as an option in you organisations since hanling and filing paper
reports
would be to expensive ;-)

I think I asked this 10 years ago. :) Maybe more.

This means a new skillset for most. That's probably the biggest drawback
(although, that skillset would be very nice to have in your tool box!)

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.

With all the travails that developers seem to go through to implement

before

shops might move to HTML for reporting?

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

and

"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?
