Ouch!!!

Anyhow, Dave, you could also use REXX with Net.Data - that technology can use REXX procedures - actually embedded REXX code, if I remember - to get at the DB2/400 data. This is basically a kind of CGI technique.

You know I'm just trying to entice you with what you know - but it really does work well, albeit not as well known these days.

Subject: [WEB400] What's the latest thinking of the best two or three web
development languages/environ...

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and
DELETE operations? I'm talking about basic web development from scratch,
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,

Dave Odom
