Subject: Calling VB from RPG?


Hi,
      Last night I was thinking about a request, and wondered if I could
take an approach that we have never used before.  From a RPG400 (actually
Asset) program, would it be possible to run a VB program that will display
2 separate lists? The user would make one selection and pass back either a
zip code or a city name. I talked to a VB person, and he said creating the
display would not be a problem at all.  I am wondering about how to call it
and how to pass the information back.  This is not necessarily the approach
we will be taking, I don't know if my boss will let me play around with it
or not. I just was wondering if it is possible. Thanks!
