By having a server function on the AS400 listening to the socket for PC
connections.  This takes the data from the PC application and sends it to
the appropriate data queue that the 5250 application is waiting at.  A data
queue for each device in a library call device work for a good model.

If you want your interactive job to implement the event model on its
own, you are going to run situations where you need multiple threads. 
What if you do something really crazy like use a socket connection to
a PC to prompt the user with a message box?   How do you get the event
of the user clicking the OK button on the message box signaled back to
your interactive program?   The best way to do this is to create a 2nd
thread and have that thread handle the socket back and forth with the
PC program that is prompting the message box.

The problem is that IBM does not allow multiple threads in interactive
jobs. So, staying on topic of this conversation, I am suggesting that
IBM spend part of this $1 billion new marketing windfall on basic
improvements to OS400.
