RE: graphical display question

["Rich Duzenbury" <rduz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd probably build a small client server app.

First, a small socket server on the AS/400 that accepts the the item number and 
returns the bin number.  Second, a GUI PC program (assuming you are running 
windoze) that opens the socket, sends the barcode data to the AS/400 and waits 
for the response.  Once the response is in hand, use the PC GUI capabilities to 
display the bin in whatever font or size you choose.

I'm partial to RPG/LE for the socket server, and I'd probably write the client 
in Delphi.  However, these choices are just personal opinion.  

As I recall, GDDM only works with 5292-2 displays...

Regards,
Rich

Subject: graphical display question


We have client access, telnet, rhumba, and mochasoft, I want to use GDDM to
display on the RPG/ILE screen a large font letter, maybe some other stuff,
GDDM keeps telling me that the display device must be a 5292 mod 2.
Is there a way around this, or is there a better solution..  we are on V4R4

Here is what we will be attempting..

PC with a scanner pass-thru to keyboard, hooked on to the as/400, screen
would
input the upc bar code, display in a large font to the user the "bin" to put
the
product in. blah, blah blah..../ pc hooked up through ethernet.

hardware wise is the way we are going, "could" just out put character to
"look"
like the bin, but that is pretty cheesy..

My other software keeps re-configuring my virtual devices to 3179-2 or
3477-FC;
the as/400 will not keep my dev at a 5292-2 as I created it.

Any other ideas;  that would not scare my boss (java, vrpg, c++, VB, xml,
html, or net.data)

TIA
