Step by Step: RPG IV and Interactive Web Pages
by Shannon O'Donnell

I'm always surprised to talk to AS/400 programmers and discover how many shops still are not taking advantage of the Web. Most shops decide not to move from green-screen applications because they think the learning curve for Java is too steep or that learning CGI concepts and programming is too much work, and no one has offered any clear, simple examples.

The file has a package ID number, date of activity, time of activity, and activity code.
