Re: AW: Open Access to be generally available as part of the RPG compiler

Hi Peter,

Once the free version of OA is finally available, I'll do some
experiments with OA interfaces to these tools (if I can find time.)

Though, I think it's useful to remember that none of the data used in
these examples (HTTPAPI, SOAP, REST, FTPAPI, Excel) is organized into
predefined records. So the record layout will consist of one big long
VARCHAR field in all of these cases.

Actually, I probably don't need OA at all... I could just use SPECIAL
files, like I did with UNIXCMD.

Just some thoughts about this -- how about a handler for HTTPAI? Pass
the URL as a key and get back the website as a record on a CHAIN?
Maybe your FTP api?
How about your Excel service program?
