I am getting ready to convert a rather large RPG APPC program over to TCP/IP sockets. The IP part is a piece of cake. However, the record formats are not. In browsing thru the RPG/400 manual, I tripped across special files and they look very interesting. It looks like I can create a transaction program in ILE/C that will receive the RPG writes & reads and then respond accordingly. Eg: When the file is "Opened", I can connect to my IP server. When a WRITE is done, send the data to the server. When a READ is done, read the data. I will have to use some user defined parms so the transaction pgm knows what record format name is being used, but it does look very appealing. And would require very little work on the existing RPG program. Anybody used SPECIAL files? Any "Gotcha's"? A better way to do this conversion?
