Karen,

When we generate reports on the AS/400 we usually write to spool files.
Then copy the spool files to a database file (CPYSPLF command).  Then copy
the database file to a stream file on the IFS (CPYTOSTMF command).  Then
allow browser access to the IFS directory via the HTTP server.  But, there
is a lot of overhead in this approach.  One thing I will be experimenting
with in the near future is writing reports directly to the IFS via some
api's I've written.  In other words, bypassing the spool file, and
subsequent copy processing.  Just building reports in the IFS rather than
using spool files.

My question is, how would you access these error and balancing reports
without requiring additional desktop functionality?
