Re: Calendar entry generator

I'm much less fond of using RPG directly these days to do stuff that is better suited to the opensource APIs such as:
-Web service calls
-Spreadsheet exports
-Data importing
-Sending email
-Receiving email
-Interacting with Office365
etc.

Then I just call them and integrate to RPG/CL and let it do what it's good at.

The best of both worlds.

Yea - I'd already asked Mr. Google but it is not unusual for him not to know about RPG options.

I know I can use PHP - and since we already use that for emailing I guess I can go that way - but for other reasons was hoping for an RPG option.

I guess I could always write it - they don't seem too complex but ...

However it does look like there are PHP and Python examples you can use. Should be pretty easy to script either one of those and call from RPG or CL.

Anyone know of a calendar entry generator - preferably written in RPG? Want to generate ICS files.
