RE: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400

Could be wrong,

Look into using the ADO-object, component of VB.
By using the ADO, you can call RPG's that were _converted_ to stored
procedures.

Hopes this helps,

Subject:  RE: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400


QUESTION:

It's possible to call an RPG program from within a VB program, right?

And it's possible to create an ILE RPG program with multiple entry points,
right?? An "object", if you will.

So my question is: Can't you write all the data access routines in ILE RPG,
and simple call them from the VB programs??

'Nother question: HOW does one return a SET of records from the ILE RPG
program to VB??
