AS a part of our quest to give native full screen 5250 and 3270 support to our Laservault archiving product, we developed some technology that may be reusable. Now don't laugh, but what we have is PC applicaiton telnet support for AS/400 and mainframe green screens (and more plain vanilla VT-100 telnet screens.) It means you could write an application in Visual Basic (or some other activex language, like Foxpro) and create interactive screens that will work on 3270, 5250, and vt-100 telnet. Why would you do this? becasue you have a PC database that you want to be able to inqure or update from multiple servers that aren't PC technology based. I know some of you will think this is backwards, the database ought to be on the iSeries, and if you are developing an application around an existing iSeries, that certainly makes sense. But if the application already exists on a PC, and the logic is nontrivial, and you want legacy access to it, then it might be just the ticket for you. I consider this a unicorn application, so the price will be a little higher - $50K. One place I can think of using it is in our content management/workflow ap. -- Brad Jensen brad@elstore.com President Electronic Storage Corporation Tulsa OK USA 918-664-7276 LaserVault Report Retrieval & Data Mining www.Laservault.com www.eufrates.com - Add distance learning to your site with easy course preparation
