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.
Joe and Tim,
Thanks for the info. If I use EGL, I'd still use it as a front end to DB2/400 but not calling RPG programs. I'm hoping it can use its own language to access DB2 better than or like Java, .ASP and .NET AND I'm hoping it can call DB2/400 Stored Procedures written in SQL.
BTW, will you all compare and contrast EGL with other languages like those mentioned above? Will you also provide links to documentation? No hurry.
Thanks much,
Dave

Joe,
Do I understand correctly that one can use EGL to build Web apps without
any tie to any legacy i5 language like RPG?
Yes. In fact, you can use EGL to create applications that aren't even tied
to the System i. Obviously I'm biased towards both DB2 on the System i and
RPG, but EGL itself is inherently platform neutral.
It's the best of both worlds: platform neutral development with built-in
hooks for platform specific tools. The more I see, the more I find it hard
to figure out why you wouldn't use this tool.
