Re: Communication to Banks

Extremely easy---that is compared to one's preconceptions of the whole thing.

See ICF files. Remember, a modem looks just like another file to the
AS/400. You open it, see if it opened, then write & read records.

Now I ain't one who's seen a pile of shops...I've worked in 5. But I've
rarely seen AS/400's used for communications. In fact, I've only written
ONE app that writes A/P info to some bank out in la-la land. But after that
experience, I walked away with the feeling that our favorite box is rarely
used for more than 50% of what it's capable of.

What a box!

Good luck,
Wynn Osborne
