Leif, I think that the minor detail that you are looking for is the difference between the system (OS/400) or your program sending the data stream. From the OS/400 view point, if the client want's to talk 5250 (like an emulator) it makes a 5250 connection. If the client want's to just make a connection, it can be a sockets connection and then both the server program (yours -not- OS/400) and the client can agree on any data stream you wish. And you are correct. Your scenario could be batch. From an OS/400 view point a socket connection is -not- a 5250 connection. It's a TCP/IP sockets connection. What you send through it (5250, 3270, 3451, HTML, XML, MSGQ, DTAQ, etc.) it doesn't know. Computers can't read ;) Now software like Client Access, TN5250 use TCP/IP as the transport protocol but they make a 5250 connection. They pretend to be a 5250 hardware device.
