Re: HTML storage

Bob,

You absolutely want to use the IFS instead of PF's. For sequential
access, the IFS is several times faster than a PF. Also, files in the
IFS file will be easier to deal with since there isn't a line length
limit like a PF and you can use HTML editors to modify them.

For the service program question, I'm sure you can dig up plenty of
examples in the RPG-400 archives to support using new techniques.
Performance over dynamic calls and being able to enforce parameters via
prototypes are just two examples of the benefits of using service
programs.

Thanks for the help, I can setup the dtaara easily to provide a source
location for the test and production areas. I like the IFS idea also,
but
I think for now I'll have to use a PF. We have a check out /
implementation program, but it was built an is maintained in house so
things get added as needed. It will be faster to get the PF version
added
compared to the IFS change. I hope to get SRVPGM's in with this change.
So
far I keep getting told why can't a normal program do that. I've yet to
find a reason I need a SRVPGM. that can't be handled with a standard
program.

If you're talking about templates, I'd store them in the IFS instead of
PFs.
But, with CGIDEV2 there isn't a way I know of to set a "default"
directory
for an environment.

So, what I would probably do is create your own. Create a data area or
file
that stores the main path to the templates. then in each CGI program
retrieve it (great use for ILE here). Take it onto the subprocedure to
load
it and you're all set.

You'll want two environments anyhow, so test points to the test
directory,
then prod points to prod. This means a file holding the default
location
in
each CGIDEV2 library/development environment.
