RE: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400

I must disagree. Sub second response time is possible with
ADO/OLEDB/ODBC/etc. as long as you code properly. I had sub-second ODBC
programs 5 years ago, but I was coding directly to the ODBC API in C++.
Using ADO in VB or ASP today will allow for sub-second response times if you
think about the design before you implement. Most performance problems arise
from the use of "bound" controls. IMHO, they SUCK and should be avoided at
all costs.

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.
