Re: Need to communication PGM to PGM between iSeries and VSE

Not such along time ago we had to create such an interface.
Although at start did not no where to start (reading in manuals dating not 
younger than 1977).
Finally it is not that dificult from an iSeries perspective.
The main problem was to get the connection configured at the VSE/MVS side (not 
my job).
At the iSeries side then it is only an issue of creating an ICF file, doing the 
correct ICF overrides, issuing an EXFMT against the ICF and do some Minor/Major 
returncode checking.
 
I can help if you wish.
 
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.

Pat, 

Thanks for the info. I wonder which would be easier/better solution,
sockets or APPC. Yes, remembering my VM and MVS days, I WILL have to
do some serious reading if I use APPC.

Thanks,
