Re: Call a RPG program from a PC

The records on the AS/400 are validated by your program you say.  What 
happens if it isn't valid?  Do you need to communicate back to the user? 
If that is the case perhaps you'd want to consider placing the validation 
process as a program that runs every time a record is added to your 
workfile.  That way, if the record is invalid your user can know 
immediately, and if the record is valid the proper tables on the AS/400 
are updated immediately.  In either event the data is handled immediately 
and there is no need to run an end of job process.

Hello everyone....

I'm building a interface in ACCESS.
My program Input's data into a work file (in the AS400) with an ODBC
connection. This works fine.

Now, my problem is that I have a RPG program in the AS400 that read's this
file, makes validations and insert's the records in the right tables. I
need to lanch this program when the Access Interface program end's.

I sugested a submited job, but the cliente whant's this automaticly.

Is this possible????? How??????

Thanks for your help, if you can.
Og
