I checked out Rivet and it is really cool. I am going to test it out this
weekend. I hope every one has a nice memorial day weekend in the U.S.Have a
cool weekend outside the U.S. too!
I am going to be experimenting with gnucobol. They are looking for a web
interface or gui interface and tcl/tk is one of the top candidates for that to
happen. I am checking out how I can get data in and out of gnucobol. I have
ideas how to go about that. Gnucobol just has a screen interface for now. I am
interested in passing data in and out for processing but for now would like to
use rivet to do the forms instead of the screen section in cobol.I'd have to
CRUD with html form wizard in rivet and then pass to the db package/module in a
tcl file. I could then transfer the data to/from cobol when needed for
processing in a step that is separate from form submission and then form
processing. It is that 'extra step' that is required I need to figure out.
Brian at gnucobol demonstrated in the getting started forum how to pass the
data back and forth between a tcl script and cobol and even link variables, so
most of the complicated coding is done.
Thx. Harald for helping out with those few questions at google groups.
Take care,jim
