i-specs on an as/400 - if it takes 2 weeks to do what you said - are you
writing as400 code like rpg-ii from the 70's ??? - don't get me wrong -
i'm crazy about visual dbase but nothing comes close to the ease and
productivity in designing and implementing apps on the as400 - all the
steps required - you could do it all in one pop with an sql statement
 - this one i had to reply to - there are too many people who seem to
try and put down the as400 when it appears they are unaware of the
potential and robustness from both a design, implementation and
performance standpoint
