Broad topic, I couldn't narrow it down because I do not understand the
issue(s) well enough. Thank you for your understanding.

OK, Lots of talk on the list about moving from green screen to GUI. I've
made some claims which, upon inspection, I can't back up. I suspect the
problem is me, not the iSeries. Hence this thread.

As a proof-of-concept I wrote a series of regular green screen programs to
read/add/update a file of U.S. presidents and a few details of their
lives. If you are interested, the series can be seen at US Presidents <
http://www.martinvt.com/SQL_-simple-/SQL_Simple_Subfile/sql
_simple_subfile.html> ( iSeries) Its fairly simple and straight
forward, designed to be a step beyond Hello World but no farther.

Then I created a web page using the same data, with the intention of
proving I could do on an iSeries what I can do on any web server. Here is
that web page - US Presidents <http://ventures.martinvt.com/>

So now I have both ends of the problem. Its the middle I do not have.
Currently, the version that runs on the iSeries web server has the data in
the IFS, and I can refresh that data from a web page whenever I ask.

However I can not get the data directly from the iSeries library, which
is, to my mind, the crux of the matter.

I can provide a rundown of ways that don't work but thats boring. Hence
this post: What does work? I would like to go back as far as V5R4 if
possible but at this point I'll follow any path.
