Communication programs..

Hi all,

How do ICFF programs work?  Does it have to be a C program or could I write
this in RPG too (Is there an example somewhere in the Redbooks that I could
use)?  I tried to write a program in RPG and had problems in F spec with
this file.  I could not define this as workstation and use the write Evoke
record.  When I defined this as a Special file, the program compiled but had
problems while running. Could someone throw some light on this please?  Here
is what I have for each sending & receiving end :


- An ICFF file.
- A workstation file for Menus & other options.
- A CL to overlay the Pgm Dev Entry OVRICFDEVE and call to the (RPG)
program.
- RPG to actually receive/write the ICFF & workstation file.

Again, should dataques be used with ICFF files?   How will they improve the
performance?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sudha
