Rob P, 1) I used to reply to old messages to start a new one. However it looks really crummy in the archives. Also, don't do a reply with history to start a new thread - really confusing. 2) There is an IBMer that contributes to this list that also peddles IBM education. Perhaps he can suggest a curriculum. 3) There are many tools available on the iSeries that are the same on other platforms. Such as PING. So, I would start getting in the habit of using the platform independent name like ping instead of the iSeries name VFYTCPCNN. In fact, IBM should be chided for coming out with the standard 3 letter abbreviation for a platform independent command like that. In the long run, that's a disservice. 4) Start out with TCP, then HTTP. Save APPC for your spare time. Yes, it has it's pro's, but people doing new development are more likely to write a check than someone who is stagnant and the new stuff is going into TCP/IP. 5) The IBM manuals are available on line at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/infocenter.html A good place to get started might be: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzahg400comm.htm Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

The platforms that the customers use are either AS/400 (50%), or anything else, using TCP/IP, APPC, and some HTTP. I am looking for source info on how to resolve typical problems, in fact, what would be typical problems, and how do they get resolved?
