Re: Reading a file in a loop over VPN... (David Gibbs)

David:

It is a database file on another iSeries. I was thinking JDBC for I/O.

I was wondering if using a DTAQ might make more sense. I have experience 
in using them.

Well, the delay is easy enough ...

private void delay(int seconds) {
   try {
      Thread.sleep(seconds*1000);
   } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
}

What kind of file IO are you looking at?  Is this a database file on the
iSeries, ifs file, or PC file?
