Full Day "Mini-Summit" Seminar

Simplify RPG Apps with Open Access

This session introduces coding techniques that can greatly simplify how your RPG programs interact with modern interfaces such as web services, the IFS, browsers and more. They allow you access to these interfaces through native RPG I/O operations (such as READ, WRITE, CHAIN, UPDATE, etc.).

In this session we will demonstrate how RPG's Open Access makes it easier to develop truly generic handler routines that facilitate this kind of access.

We will also discuss an Open Access handler that provides a simple method of converting a report file program to output to the browser.

Last, but not least, we’ll tell you about some of the exciting things that ISVs have done with Open Access - including web enablement of 5250 RPG applications.
