Dave,

Thanks for the info.  From what I've seen so far it appears their
products are more query/reporting tools than an application development
tools.  And, again, I wish to create applications that allow only
precise access to particular account records at a time, not a group of
records as a query/reporting tool provides.  We have all the regular
query tools we need.  We don't need to support another. Perhaps I've
missed something about the ASC products so if you can point me to where
their product(s) provide application development (presentation layer and
application layer) I'll look again.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

Based on the information you provided it sounds like the application
you want to create is for presenting / reporting data out of a
data warehouse.  If this is the case, then ASC's Sequel products will
be more than adequate.  They are more than just end-user reporting
tools.

As a user of their products for a number of years I can confirm that
they seem to be in it for the long haul, and try to use industry-
standard methods (standard SQL syntax, consistent interfaces, etc.).
They also provide a line of innovative products and work with their
customer base to help solve business problems.

I would encourage you to at least give them a call and tell them
what you are looking to accomplish.

If we have misunderstood what you are trying to do then please
re-post to this forum.

Do you have ASC's SEQUEL product? It has web interfaces for input and
output.  Check out www.asc-iseries.com for details.

Subject: [WEB400] Recommendations on development language/environment
for
webpresentation layer

Fellow iSeries developers,

What are your best recommendations for development language,
environment, tools, etc., to create a web presentation layer and
application layer over iSeries tables that make up an iSeries Data
Warehouse/Data Mart/Operational Data Store.   As an aside, the
database
will be DB2 tables created via DDL and access from the presentation
layer/application layer will be via SQL and stored procedures
fostering
static SQL on the iSeries as much as possible.

Since I'll do a prototype and then the production application, I'd
like
a toolset that allows for easy development of the first and flow into
the second.   I'd like the language/development environment NOT to be
esoteric and out of the skills mainstream.  I'd like the
language/development environment to facilitate ease of development,
maintenance and rapid development.    I'd like the
language/development
environment to have a track record and probability of being around in
the future.

Having said all the "wants", I'll entertain alternative suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Dave Odom
