Too expensive when compared to DataQuant; not enough included. Done
my homework.

Look at iSeries access for web - it gives you stuff like spool files
out of the box.

I only have to build some simple web pages that have menu items that
are
invoked by number or button. These menu items will invoke system
commands or programs. The commands would be things like work with
spoolfile where the actual invoking userid would be different than the
user using the web app. This to prevent the user from having
anything
above user privileges when they need to look at spoolfiles created by
another userid that invoked the job creating those spoolfiles.
Again,
the programs being invoked would be some REXX, some CL/RPG and DB2
Query
Manger queries. The output from those queries would go to a file
which
can be accessed via DataQuant, their online query tool or to a
spoolfile
with they can look at with the function mentioned first. Something
like that.

I think your best bets are PHP or Java.

On Java, I would suggest JSF (because of similarity to ASP.net --
particularly when using IBM's tool), Grails, or Project Zero/WebSphere
sMash. (The last is a new product from IBM that promises rapid
development for Java, but it doesn't run on IBM i....actually, come to
think of it, it runs PHP, too).

On PHP, I would suggest going with the Zend Framework (free download
from Zend.COM).

It sounds to me as Java+bells and whistles may be overkill if Dave
just

need some scripting of an existing solution.

I'd have a look on which scripting possibilities the existing solution

has, and then consider how to invoke them.
