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.

Note that my statements aren't in relation to mapping HTML input fields to
DB records but instead mapping them to controller program fields. As I
understand it, EGL's term of record could be considered similar to an RPG
data structure on steriods - it's a grouping of fields, but not necessarily
a DB record.
Not really. The BasicRecord type is essentially a data structure with
metadata - all those cool things like prompts and validations that we've
seen at work today. However, there are additional features that can be
specified at the record level: an SQLRecord, for example, will
automatically generate the appropriate code for CRUD or QUERY events
without the programmer having to do the dirty work. An MQSeries record
will similarly hide the complexity of MQ Series from a programmer.
The Record is a very powerful construct and is perhaps one of the things
that best exemplifies the 4GL nature of EGL.
