Re: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400

Yes Rick, I agree. The sub-second response with the program to program
approach will never be reached with ADO, ODBC, ADO.Net...

As a side benefit (and a valuable one), you keep your existing RPG
application programs and preprocess the data retrieval and update. We at
CMI have been modifying our DSPF driven programs on a case by case basis.
This has allowed us to port to GUI and Web at the same time without
application loss or increasing security risks.

My approach is to use sockets between an rpg spawned server and the client.
