RE: PC Front-ends to AS/400 data -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

The key to a good client server implementation on the 400 is to do batch
processing on the 400 and use the PC for input, validation and
display/formatting of the information. Our back-end processing is mostly
RPG-LE.

The N-tier approach solves many problems, including response time (if
implemented in that way).

If you want to go the Visual Basic route, check out the following book:

"Visual Basic 6 Business Objects" by Rockford Lhotka, WROX, ISBN
1-861001-07-X

There is also a VB 5 version of this book. Actually, WROX has many good
books along the same lines.

I cannot stress enough: Learn the N-tier model.

Peace,
