Dayton, OH July 31, 2006 - Profound Logic Software announces the addition of a CL to Web conversion tool to its RPGsp software. Most legacy i5 applications are a combination of RPG and CL programs. While RPG programs perform the bulk of screen-processing, many screens are also presented to end-users via CL programs. These screens tend to be simple prompts and menus, as CL is a very simplistic language.

RPGsp’s Green-Screen to Web Conversion Tool, which converts RPG programs to multi-purpose CGI applications, can now be used to convert CL programs as well. Any interactive CL program can be converted to a Web application with the click of a button. The CL program will maintain its functionality, and will have the ability to function as either an interactive green-screen CL program or a Web program, from one compiled object.

The RPGsp environment offers an array of tools including snippets, an HTML designer, and a split-view editor to enhance the converted application beyond its original capabilities. A typical enhancement for a CL menu might be to make the options clickable. A CL date range prompter program can be enhanced to have pop-up calendars when executed in a browser environment.

By integrating RPG business logic in an HTML interface, an RPG developer can produce powerful business applications faster than ever before. RPGsp is analogous to web technologies such as ASP or JSP, apart from the fact that all host logic is written exclusively in RPG, the most natural and efficient language for accessing data on the iSeries.
