Re: [U2] Taxware
Mark, With all of the changes in Unidata (over the years) we have been able to due an awful lot with Shims. Obviously, it no longer resembles the original version. We interface to conveyor systems, built an EDI engine, web presence, Amazon integration, address correction software, external search engines, etc. It really works well for us. As a matter of fact, there is another local company, that I believe, is still using Shims as well. Unfortunately, every good thing comes to an end. We were acquired by an entity that does not use Unidata. Theoretically, over the next 6 months we will be assimilated to their AS/400 RPG 4 system. Oh, well.

Re: [U2] Taxware
In the last 12 years I've lost a bunch of clients due to mergers or 'upgrades' to allegedly more modern systems. With only one exception, each was a turn for the worse. The users bemoaned the lack of features we have installed and while it looks 'pretty' with its GUI interface, it is nice frosting on a very plain cake. The fact that you're migrating over to an RPG system makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I programmed with RPG in the mid 1970's before working for Microdata then. You will sorely miss virtually everything that is missing on that AS/400 system that is taken for granted on an MV system. While many contempory IT people look down their noses at us MV people, RPG is even worse than MV in this case. Today, these youngsters think RPG is either Role Playing Game or Rocket Propelled Grenade and not Report Program Generator. If there's any shred of possibly having a fair trial for the death penalty of your MV system, then I could offer a few real-world scenarios where the MV system would have prevailed. Now I know that we're biased towards MV. But to go to RPG is more Jurrasic than Pick is. My 2 cents. Mark Johnson P.S. I have friends who still program in COBOL, Fortran, Pascal, IDA and even BAL. And we're the ones criticized for keeping our technologies in the past. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 7:40 AM Subject: Re: [U2] Taxware Mark, With all of the changes in Unidata (over the years) we have been able to due an awful lot with Shims.

Re: [U2] Taxware
I integrated Taxware into our business system (Shims - Unidata 6.0). We use the transactional approach for exemption certificates but have developed a c-wrapper (with the help of this list) for the realtime api for the tax calculations. We do not use the client side application for tax exemptions because it is far to limiting (have to download to a local pc and manually enter certificates). If you would like move information, please feel free to contact me offline.
