Re: Graphical requirement for program

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

You could check out my RPGChartEngine tool that is open source and free:

Basically my thought is that you could create the bar chart jpg with 
RPGChartEngine (which is placed in the IFS) and then invoke the browser 
on the users PC using either STRPCCMD or one of my other free and open 
source tools named RPGToDesktop.  Note you would have to setup the 
Apache server and have it running to allow requests in to display those 
images, but that is quite simple and Apache is on most all AS400's.
