> The webfacing manuals say that webfacing requires very little change > to the source code, it are they referring to the DDS or RPG ? The RPG does not change at all and neither does the DDS. WebFacing reads the DDS source and creates some Java objects out of it. This presumes that your DDS converts (all keywords supported.) If you _need_ to change the DDS, you might have to change the RPG because of functionality changes. > If I have to change the DDS before I convert it, does this mean that >I need to recompile my RPG ? Same rules apply as always. If the buffer changes, the RPG gets recompiled. > I'm in a situation where the DDS for application is available to me bit the > RPG is not. Can I consider webfacing as an option ? > By the way it's also Synon ( Cool 2/e) generated. Yes. I converted 5000+ screens with the earliest versions of WebFacing. Although the converter screamed about the number of unsupported DDS keywords, virtually the DDS did convert and run without changes. I never checked every one of th 5000 displays though... Our application is Synon-generated so yes, we used a conversion tool to convert generated DDS. This never went into production though because Management decided to use newlook. Mostly for change management reasons. --buck
