OTOH, Net.Data is mature, most if any problems have been solved long ago - there was a good newsgroup on it at BIM, with archives, i'd think. So the support is there in some form. Besides, it is so easy to use.

Net.Data is not very well supported. Nadir Amra is the last IBM'er
working on it, and he spends most of his time on other projects.

Anyhow, Dave, you could also use REXX with Net.Data - that technology can use

REXX procedures - actually embedded REXX code, if I remember - to get at the
DB2/400 data. This is basically a kind of CGI technique.

You know I'm just trying to entice you with what you know - but it really does

work well, albeit not as well known these days.

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and
DELETE operations? I'm talking about basic web development from scratch,
not calling RPG, nor screen scraping existing Display Files; fresh web
development. The beginning web pages will be simple, no fancy presentation
for awhile. I'd like to store the web objects on the i but that may no
longer be the best place.

I'd like to use what is in our current IBM i or MickySoft environment, not
buy some new development tool, if at all possible. I'm used to working in
HTML, ASP, javascript and the like. I wouldn't mind Using WebSphere, as we
have it, but fear the learning curve might be too long. Opinions please.

Thank you,

Dave Odom
