A database 'server' program would provide access to a file (add, delete, update, retrieve). For example, if you have a name and address file, any program that required the name and address to be displayed/modified/printed, it would call this database 'server' program to obtain the data and, if necessary, update the database. (One procedure would get the record from the database, and another procedure would write/update/delete the database record.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Klement" <klemscot@klements.com> To: <RPG400-L@midrange.com> Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 1:39 PM Subject: Re: Database access as service pgm or bind by copy? > > When you say "database server program" what are you referring to?
