Oh, there are a *couple* of places - for example, as a pure database server, a comparable UNIX server will beat a 400 in speed and accessibility (using DB/2). If you are in a streams oriented environment, such as a system running multiple socket based servers, UNIX is probably a bit more efficient. (Not to say that a 400 cannot do it, just that a $2500 UNIX machine will do it better than an $8K 400.) And it depends on other factors too. But in *general* - a UNIX server will outperform an AS/400 in a streams environment, and a 400 will outperform UNIX is a record oriented environment. -Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Pluta" <joepluta@PlutaBrothers.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: RE: system event trigger whenever a source file member is updated > > From: Dr Syd Nicholson > > > > The system wil be in place for 1-2 years until AS/400s are replaced.
