RE: Call RPGLE program on another iSeries

Ok Chris, based on Buck's responses, with the addition of Jim's data queue
suggestion, which of the following do you (and I realize this may be a
shot from the hip) think may do the trick?

Buck:
SQL stored procedure
Remote Procedure Call
SBMNETJOB
SBMRMTCMD
Trigger on a 'special' table on the remote system
Jim:
Data queues
Others (sorry but I deleted many of my responses):
Web Services

My initial shot from the hip would be anything with SBM in it's name would
not be the interactive response you're looking for.
The trigger idea would also not be a good command/response pair.

My initial two picks would be SQL Stored Procedures and Data queues. I
plead ignorance on remote procedure calls. Web Services may be a fun
learning experience and something to add to the tool box but I'd have to
have a lot more information to justify going down that road. At Dekko we
do some serving, and consuming, of web services. But is done by others
who do more day-to-day coding in RPG.
