Re: Load-All Subfile Performance (Was: "Constant" performance question)

This is defenitely a dead horse, but ...

People who say that i have to write apps to be displayed in a browser, have
never written anything like that, either.
I have a coleague saying that, but he doesnot deliver, and ehe writes in MS
Fox Pro and SQL Server.

And I think the tools to do it are not suffiecient. HTML or green screen:
Submit button or Ente/Function key; almost similar to handle the input.

Alternatives? Which ones? IBM has provided nothing, but makes a roadmap
into that direction.
And now the Open I/O vapourware.

How many have gone the road to the web? That's why we are still writing
subfiles.

If you want a GUI, the OS should support a GUI, running on the same
hardware, not Navigator in windows, a browser in Windows, etc., but on the
AS/400.

Could not resist this, but the whole arguments are lame as well.
Modernization? With what?

Just my luddite opinion.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler.

For the past 10 years, we've been talking about web as the best way to do

that.

For the past 5 years or so, the discussion has been much more dire. If we

don't stop with the green screen stuff, and start showing modern

interfaces, this system is doomed.

I'm certainly NOT trying to offer you a suggestion of *how* to do it.

There are a lot of alternatives out there, and honestly, I've given up

caring which one you use. The point is: STOP WRITING GREEN SCREEN STUFF!

Good lord, setting standards for new green screen applications?

You've got to be kidding me.
