Re: Articles or links to build a case on why to improve your rpg-db2 database.

Thanks, Booth, Joe and Buck.

I agree with all said.
I should have shared that, this was BPCS code back in the late? 90s but
the company bought the source and
severed all ties ever since, otherwise i completely agree with the
approach outline by Joe below and then
to a degree what Buck pointed out. I also have found what Booth said to
be true most of the time, we (I?) make a
boogeyman of the behemoth task but it is often over 'worried'.

Anway, i should clarify, i'm looking for the kind of -reasons- to make
this a palatable project to the VP & CIO types.
I'd like to go to them and say "here's what we should be doing, and here's
why we should do it".

I do what i can, bit by bit, but something (it seems to me) this important
should gain purchase as a bonafide project/goal.

Thanks,

John

Yes, it took a long time for the whole
process but once completed we realized it really didn't take all that
long after all.

Joe

Just my opinion, but I'm a firm believer in the single extension file
concept, at least when I'm dealing with third-party packages.

Buck

Build some views/logical files which do several things:
1) Create a 'data warehouse' effect - one place where all...
