Re: Access SOCKETS API from RPG

["shravan reddy" <bshravan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi scott,
I want to establish communication between as400 and some other server. I am 
planning to do this by developing a API in ILE 'c'. as i am  comfortable 
with RPG i prefer to develop in RPG.
Our client suggested to develop in ILE 'c' because only ILE 'c' supports 
Sockets programming.Is it true? if so please give me suggestion. And also 
please give me some examples it will be helpfull for me.
Thanks in advance.
