Re: PHP and RPG, work file question -- WEB400

Consider building a view that does the things that your 'extract' program does. Or if a View has to process too many records, maybe a User Defined Table Function would do the trick. If you have special routines that process data rather than jus going and getting it from the database, you can convert those to user defined functions and include those calculations in the view that way. We had a Bill of Materials program which was extremely convoluted until I turned it into a User Defined Table function with joins and calls out to UDF's to get other bits of data from the database. Now I can use that one UDTF wherever I need to display the BOM. Works great from 5250 and web apps.

We don't currently have anything setup to run 27 x 132. We are moving all new development to PHP. So this was supposed a simple display screen to start on. I just liked the idea of reusing the RPG code, until I thought of the stateless issue. I'm starting to rewrite this program.

If screen size of 24 x 80 is not big enough why not just change the display size to 27 x 132 as an interim fix anyway.

If the application is running primarily in green screen environment taking one screen out to the browser using PHP seems a little disjointed but I have no idea of the complete application.

My 2 cents

We have a similar situation in some of our Client/Server programs. What we do is to place the User ID as the first key field of our table. Before we write the data to the work file we delete all the records pertaining to the requesting User. The client program "knows" it must read all the records beginning with the User ID.

The program to help build the inventor list uses a separate alone

is fine. Many people can use it at the same time since the work file
is

temporary storage. I would like to use this program but a call from
PHP can't rely on temporary storage for the next SQL call to get the data.

Has

anyone already solved a similar issue, or should i just rewrite the
work file program in PHP?
