I'm in a 'packaged code' shop - we use JDE World, so no, I won't be writing thousands of these screens. I was just looking for a discussion into what most people use.

This particular file does have a parent-child setup, so there is a little bit of complexity to it.

I will most likely use one of the utilities already suggested - but I will probably also still create the green-screen just for those users who are more comfortable with it.

Thanks
Bob

p.s. Really wish Oracle would modernize JDE World...

Bob,

You indicated that the basis for your question is your needing to maintain one IBM i file via a "modern" user interface. If that were the scope of the project, then would it even matter which platform to run it on, or which language to use, or whether to use a utility to do it, or to write a program?

Your question would be more relevant if you had say a thousand files to maintain, and a lot of files have parent-child relationships, relevant business rules, and data validation logic. Say you need to drill down multiple levels according to parent-child relationships. Say you need to filter and order the data by any field in the table.

Nathan.
