      If your screen field is based on a PF, then we can think of way to update your PF based on the Excel. But could you help me to understand the actual requirement pls. I will try to help if possible.

    Hi Yusuf,
    I loved you posts about CGI code and posting data to IBMi local website. Is is possible to connect the IBMi apache website (via Java JDBC for example) to DB2 database and fetch records to dynamic web content? If yes, could you provide example?

      Hi Mierk,
      Thanks for your feedback. I have not much worked with web development with Java. But I can give example on how we can connect DB2 from a JAVA program using JDBC and retrieve data. May be you can extend this to your requirement. JT400.jar is used for this. More info from https://sourceforge.net/projects/jt400/

    Hi,
    I do not have current project/requirements to stick to, but I am exploring options to bring data from DB2 to the web. I have the following list that I consider:
    - IBMi Web Query
    - CGI programs
    - Web Services Server (similar to CGI, which you already provided all the heave lifting for)
    - Java application
    - Application Servers internal (Tomcat, WebSphere) or external (.net, etc..)
    - Third party software (from Helpsystems or alike)

    I think the Web Services Server is the most efficient and cost effective option for my pet projects and your CGI documentation will be very helpful. Here is couple of reference links:

    Thank you again for all the info you are sharing.

    bonjour Yusuf,
    je débute en programmation AS400 et j'aimerais savoir si vous avez fait un tuto avec un programme qui permet d'avoir le résultat d'un calcul via le RPG ou cobol.
    exemple j 'ai en stock 20 PC j 'en vends 5, je voudrais que le résultat s'affiche automatiquement après avoir saisie la vente.

    merci d'avance si vous pouvez m'aider

    Hi yusuf,

    I got a requirement that
    One company want to send New year and Christmas Greeting message in PDF format to all of their clients on email. So i should write a RPG program to generate that PDF which will have Logo and Name of the company and client’s company.

    For this the Client name and designation can be taken from master table and the PDF should have the company and client’s Logo and address (which should pick logo from IFS).

    Can you please suggest me the approach which i should follow also how and where should i create the ifs folder in pub400 machine? I tried the CRTFLR command but i received some authority error.
