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

We've got tools that:

1. Convert reports to PDF or HTML
2. Move files from the IFS to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive
3. Send files from the IFS to a printer set up on Google Cloud Print
(which can be pretty much any printer in the world).

Pretty much anything you need to make reports available in the "cloud".
But, I think for most IBM i shops that's about 5 years too early to adopt.
:) I find most customers now are just starting to discover what web
services and even sending email from your machines can do for them.

The thing about HTML is that good WYSIWYG tools are available for layout,
including images, graphs, and styling. And there are utilities like PD4ML
and others which run under IBM i and transform HTML into PDF.

... and using OpenSource CommandGate Java Commandline Utilities like PD4ML
are running 10 times faster on AS/400 with nearly unlimited scalability
