The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
This may be a silly question, but can't you use COBOL? IWS says it supports ILE languages, so I assume that includes COBOL. If not, there's always CGIDEV2.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] What forum is best for a Tope and Node question?
Profound Logic seems to think Node.JS is more than experimental. Granted, their Profound.JS Connector is a commercial product, so they have a financial incentive to say Node.JS is ready for prime-time. Yet, they have invested a lot of their modernization efforts into Node.JS. I think they really do see Node.JS as being ready for serious production use on IBM i.
I think the biggest obstacle for our shop is that we just plain lack Node.JS skills. Our .NET developers really don't have an interest in working with it. They just want Node.JS on the IBM i to magically feed them web services. Our IBM i developers are experts at CL and COBOL. Node.JS not in their world of interests, either.
I would love to get Node.JS up and running. We already have .NET developers asking for it. But I'm far, far too much of a newbie not to paint our shop into a corner-assuming I can get something production-ready at all.
Thanks,
