Hi all, We are in the process of prototyping some apps in a graphical mode (x 5250 apps). We have tried VARPG, and VB. Not yet the webfacing tool. I have my own ides on these based on our experience, but would like to see what others are thinking? The questions are thus: Other than VBs wide use on PCs is there an advantage over VARPG to use it? If the app will call programs on the 400 directly to do some processing (APIs as an example) does VARPG make more sense. With the restriction of requiring DB2 Connect on each deployed PC, would it make more sense to use VB with ODBC? Is the performance of VARPG faster than VB with ODBC? Is anyone using VARPG?, If so, are you using embedded SQL? Or generating Java with it? (by the way you can't use embedded sql with Java since JDBC is not supported - or at least not anywhere we have been able to find) If there were good Java Tools (which I have not really seen yet) would that be a better approach? Are there any other questions / issues that should be considered as part of this?
