I would be concerned that it would be specializing the list too much. Why not a subfile in rpg list? Why not an embedded SQL in RPG list? Why not a S/36 RPG list? Also, this would cut down on the exposure that others would receive to programming CGI. There are some shops which may not use it now, but, some employees might see the light if exposed via this list. I do not feel that the amount of CGI discussion is distracting to RPG in general. Does anyone object to the volume of e-rpg discussions on the rpg list in general? What would qualify something as E-RPG? The use of the CGI routines? The use of net.data? The use of sockets? The use of SQL? We already have people who fire off questions to the RPG list which are better off left at midrange-l, (and vice versa). Now are these same people going to fire off questions to all lists in the hope of getting a fast or better answer? Who would subscribe to the e-rpg list and not the rpg list? Gee, if there is alot. And I assume that the 'sharper' programmers are there. Then see the above paragraph. Who would subscribe to the rpg list and not the e-rpg list? Did you respond to the affirmative that you felt the amount of CGI discussion is distracting to RPG in general? And now I think I have successfully opened the flood gates for a bunch of email clutter not germane to rpg. Sorry, but I felt the questions needed to be asked. Especially regarding exposure to new techniques. Rob Berendt ================== Remember the Cole! jpcarr@TREDEGAR.C OM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Sent by: cc: owner-rpg400-l@mi Subject: eRPG mailing list (was; Future fo AS/400?? ) drange.com 01/16/01 09:14 AM Please respond to RPG400-L I think it would be a great idea. I have been doing eRPG for a few months now and I am very happy with what I have learned and what I have done. Is it an end all be all? No, Not any more than a Subfile program is or a VB talent is. But, It is a good place to start for the AS/400 crowd. I would join the list if there was one. John Carr Since the future is happening now... What do y'all think of starting an E-RPG mailing list? The list could be specifically for browser based programming, sockets, back-end business rules, so forth and so on. +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
