Re: Reg: IWS in IBMi

IWS lets me, an about average old-timey RPG programmer, use my existing 
skills to provide DB/2 data in useful forms to an outside world that 
neither cares about nor respects our platform and the generations of 
tribal knowledge built into our installations. Will it save our 
platform?  Who knows.  But hey, predictions of the end of the AS/400 
were being made when OS/2 was still a contender.

Plus, I discovered, I can consume web services in RPG!  Want a 
personalized Weather Watch 5250  program that tells you weather 
condition in different cities of your choosing... Well, I'm your guy!  LOL

Furthermore one of the IWS lead developers monitors this list and answers questions directly.   That in my view is more important than any other perceived issues with IWS.
