Dave,

if you know RPG and (a little at least) html.css.js, and you have plans for
stay in the as400 plattform.... why asking for any more?

RPG or RPG+SQL in the host
HTML+CSS (+ some JS) in the client side

all into your control; call programs, dtaara, dtaq, CL, commands, ovrdbf,
CPF control, and so on, nothing new under the sun.

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and

not calling RPG, nor screen scraping existing Display Files; fresh web
development. The beginning web pages will be simple, no fancy presentation
for awhile. I'd like to store the web objects on the i but that may no
longer be the best place.

I'd like to use what is in our current IBM i or MickySoft environment, not
buy some new development tool, if at all possible. I'm used to working in
HTML, ASP, javascript and the like. I wouldn't mind Using WebSphere, as we
have it, but fear the learning curve might be too long. Opinions please.

Thank you,
