That would be awesome, Peter! I wanted to have ( a call) to a net.data
macro, from an existing link on and existing macro, and do an SQL to
access a Qsys data file and write out to an IFS XML data file which
would be accessed by Fusion Charts (and walla a graph), right - as you
see it?
Am I missing something? There are so many options - right now I am
pretty much lost.

Don,
This example was coded so that it will run as is without having to first
create the DB2/400 file needed for access via SQL.
Really the only pre-requisite is that you have installed FusionCharts on
your i5.
If you want I can create a DB2/400 file to show how simple the SQL
implementation would be.

Peter,
That takes a great amount of knowledge -
I will study it and see if I can get SQL to do it.
Thank you,

Don,
I downloaded FusionCharts and whipped up this example using their
column3D sample. For simplicity I generate the required column3D.xml
file from a csv file since the macro can easily create the csv file on
the fly from hard-coded data but in production you could retrieve the
data using SQL.
The only Net.data code is that which builds the xml data required by
Fusion and most of that is because I've hard-coded the data into the
source below.
If you were to retrieve the data via an SQL statement then you would
just need the few dtwf_writefile statements.
%define {
xmlTbl = %TABLE
csvfile = "/tmp/column3D.csv"
xmlfile = "/tmp/column3D.xml"
NL = {@dtw_rhextochar("15")%}
CRLF = {@dtw_rhextochar("0D25")%}
%}
%{ Define monthly data to be written to csv file %} %define xmldata =

I have the FusionCharts set up correctly to output a graph from data in
an IFS file which is in XML format - named data.xml. What methods can I
use to replace that data on the fly just before graphing takes place -
possibly via an SQL statement in a net.data macro, and then somehow
copied/written BACK OVER the top of the data in the data.xml file ...

Having read this thread, I'm wondering why no one suggested Query?
WebQuery can produce the exact results your looking for. If you don't
own Query then a PHP, Javascript, or Java solution would work but
require quite a bit of care and feeding over time making the Query look
better.

Check out RPG Chart Engine at MowYourLawn.com. It is completely
open source, uses data queues to talk to Java from RPG, and uses
JFree Chart as the chart "engine".

How are you doing your web presentation? php, cgi, websphere...
This thread from 2009 discusses several options
http://archive.midrange.com/web400/200901/msg00154.html
The Excel option is also possible, assuming the web user has
Excel (then you have to worry about various levels of Excel 2003
or 2007 or 2010).
Scott Klement has some published tools (free) to generate excel
with formulas).
jQuery and many other toolkits& plugins are an option (and
mostly
free-)
