Re: Library list in CGIDEV2

hello Ewart,

I've done this using the usropn function in RPG but I plan to use SQL. So
I feel it would be easier to use the CHGLIBL command to set the library
list before using any SQL command. The problem is how ??

To use the CHGLIBL command, just do:

CHGLIBL LIBL(LIB1 LIB2 LIB3 .. etc)

Is that really what you're asking? Or are you asking us where to store the library lists for each database environment? Or...?

After the login screen I plan to have another screen where the various
product areas are listed (using Radio buttons)& the various applications
are listed (in the form of links / Radio buttons, which is better ??). The
user will then have to select any one product area& an application to
proceed. Is this a good way of doing it ??

I would use radio buttons if you want the "product area" and "application" to be submitted together. A link would be more appropriate if you want to go to the application without submitting anything else on the page long with it.

(At least... that's what a user would expect.)

It seems like an okay method to me -- but it's really hard to say whether it's a good design without being familiar with the application. What's important here is that it's easy for the user to understand, use, and not cumbersome to repeat (if repetition is necessary.)
