Re: calling a program v using a SRVPGM

Did that.  Fahrenheit to Celsius, Celsius to Fahrenheit, day-name for 
any requested date, return a list of Oceans, return a list of US 
Presidents and details of their presidency, a random list of ticket 
numbers, and details related to a selected ticket number. All from 
physical files in my development library on a couple of different 
i-series machines.  All these data are returned as json data to any 
browser pointed to the correct uri.  I also set up a web server on the 
i. The pages exist to request & display these data using HTML, 
JavaScript, and css.  All works pretty well, considering my novice status.

Next step looks to me to be consuming that same information with 5250.   
I'm not liking what I am seeing so far.

And yes, I know I can use RPG to get the data directly from the files in 
my development library.  But that's not the point, is it?  I want to be 
able to enforce business rules and what is and what isn't available, 
within the i-series environment and yet provide useful data for various 
superusers who have their own specific needs.
