Now if you could just tell me in 100 words or less how to take all those
old front end programs with many formats in each one and make them
stateless in a month.
I kind of sounds like Henrik may have something that generates code based on your DB tables, which may be of interest to some. But it sounds like your question is how much can you get done in a month? That reminded me of a couple things.
How many are familiar with Visual Foxpro? It has a nice interface for creating "remote views" from ODBC data sources, including ones that connect to IBM i DB. The "browse" command in Foxpro opens up a very powerful window for query and maintenance of any DB table, which could theoretically be used to maintain your database. You could probably set up maintenance capabilities for hundreds of tables in a month. But would you want to?
You might be able to do something similar in Excel. Each spreadsheet could link to a different IBM i DB table. Or if you prefer, each sheet in a tabbed workbook could browse and maintain a different table. Just open a workbook, then click the tab of the table you want to view or maintain. But would you want to?
