Get More Out of Your Green Screen Programs with Presto

You have a lot invested in your IBM i and in your green screen programs. Use Presto to extract even more value from them.

Satisfy users with an instant Web GUI

Presto instantly transforms all your RPG and COBOL programs and IBM i screens into modern looking web pages that are more accepted by users. You save time by not having to make any changes to your RPG, COBOL or DDS code. Your web enabled screens are accessed via a browser which makes them easier for your users, clients and management to access and use. It's also easier for you to deploy as there is NO PC software to install to make Presto work.

Extend the functionality of your 5250 programs

You can then further increase user productivity and add new modern functionality to your applications by customizing your web-enabled screens. With the Presto Visual Editor and by having full access to the HTML code you can have more intuitive navigation and better data entry with features such as clickable links and drop down lists.

The possibilities are endless

You can also add JavaScript including jQuery or ExtJS to make your screens even more sophisticated. Using AJAX and SOA technology you can call other web programs including WebSmart PHP and ILE programs to incorporate new data or features into your application. For example, a dropdown box of available shipping rates to a zip code by loading the information from a SOA interface to an external web server such as UPS, or adding file upload, email and xls capabilities.

Java and the AS/400: Practical Examples for the iSeries & AS/400 Overview

Do you want to create and deploy AS/400 and iSeries Java applications that really work? In Java and the AS/400, Daniel Darnell ignores all the hype and gets down to practical examples to help you understand how Java works in the AS/400-iSeries environment. Not just another Java tutorial, this detailed book takes you through everything you need to know about the implementation of Java on these systems and guides you through several small application examples to teach the techniques and technologies available today for AS/400 development in Java.

The fully revised Second Edition provides updated coverage of the products and tools that play into AS/400 Java development efforts (Chapter 2), expanded and revised coverage of the Java environment on the AS/400 (Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7) expanded and revised coverage of the AS/400 Toolbox for Java (Chapters 8 and 9), and two completely new chapters. Chapter 11 helps you sort out the enhancements to ILE RPG that let you directly manipulate Java objects in your RPG code, and Chapter 12 takes a look at the tools and techniques used to develop Web applications, including a sample application deployed to the AS/400’s Apache Software Foundation Jakarta Tomcat application server.

The reality of the software development world today is that programmers must be schooled in client/server, server-only, and Web application development. With the view of this edition broadened to include Java integration features in RPG and the fundamental aspects of Web applications, you hold in your hands a book that includes all three types of application development.

What Is QuickPro?

QuickPro is combining the best of both worlds from QuickImage and QuickSpool, with enhancements in printing features.



The software package is made up of three elements. The first two are our high quality software products, QuickImage and QuickSpool. The third element, the Print Server for Imaged Reports, creates the link between the two software products, giving you a complete printout solution for your report, its related image(s) and scanned form.


Setting up QuickPro is easy. To print your images, report, and scanned form together, simply specify the location and size within your report for the image and scanned form to be printed. Your final product will be a report with its related images and/or scanned form printout that meets your own specifications. After this easy setup is complete, and your images, scanned form and reports are integrated, printing can be carried out through any PC printer. Unlike most AS/400 printing, you do not require an IPDS or AFP printer to print out your reports, images and/or scanned form.


This added asset makes printing of your merged data with images more practical. You can print the report with the images automatically, or use the control options of your printer server before sending the job to print.
