The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It certainly sounds like you are open to a vendor solution, so I would like to recommend you to take a look at our offerings.

We have our Genie product which can "scrape" the 5250 data stream and allow you to make enhancements. Of course we also offer our Profound UI suite which is RPGOA based for eliminating the 5250 data stream all together.
Let me know if you might have any questions and I will be glad to chat with you about it.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Is HATS still a viable solution?
I've been tasked with running our shipping system, currently a barcode scanner with a 5250 application, as a web page that could be easily run on an android scanning device. I'm having trouble weeding through the different solutions and the real advantages and disadvantages to the different ways to get there. What I recall looking very attractive, some years ago, was IBM HATS (host access tranformation service). I remember it having some sort of per user licensing. I've also seen IBM products fade away from support (ie. Infoprint Server) and I haven't heard a lot of marketing behind HATS. Is this still an attractive product to accomplish a screen scrape with some possible minor modifications to the display? Are there better solutions now for accomplishing this without requiring a lot of web design knowledge?
