WebFacing doesn't handle system ui screens in the
current release. That means commands such as WRKSPLF
won't work in a WebFacing app. You have several
options to handle this situation.
1. Listen to the person that told you WebFacing
wouldn't work and spend money (maybe lots) to get a
different IBM or third-party solution (iSeries Access
for Web, HATS, etc.) - bad idea.
2. Upgrade to the Advanced edition of WDSC, which has a
spool file viewer built in –- OK, but costs real money
to upgrade.
3. Buy or find a spool file to PDF utility to generate
PDF files from spool files -- not a bad choice.
4. Create your RPG application to select, view spool files and
WebFace that. A number of customers have already done
this -- good choice.
5. Create simple CL "wrapper" commands with input
parms for your key system commands. Then use the Web
interaction wizard in WDSC to Web-enable the CL
commands. You CAN'T get results from WRKSPLF, etc. BUT
for other commands it's great -- great where it fits. ==================================
