We've got hold of a copy of WebSphere 5.1.2 Application Developer with EGL plugin, and want to try the much-touted capability of 'translating over 80%/85%/90%/95%' (depending who you've talked to) of existing 4GL successfully. Running WSAD on Win2K and IDS9.30HC5 on HP-UX11i So far, the very first line of 4GL ('database stores') returns a syntax error. Not an auspicious start. Malc

But AFAIK 5.1.2 enables you to write programs in EGL (with which I haven't worked yet). I don't know if you have "DATABASE" on it... By the end of the year there should be version 6, which has a conversion pluggin/utility... Please correct me if I'm wrong. Regards.
