Re: Connecting Customer Signature to iSeries activity.

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do this with an RPGLE program and RUNRMTCMD. I use transaction information
generate by the iSeries application and use RUNRMTCMD to invoke a program on
the client. The client performs the signature capture process (created 2-4
.bmp or .tif files, depending on the application) and transfers the files to
the IFS. I currently use FTP, but am considering changing to data queues or
to direct saves (across the WAN) to the IFS. The .bmp/.tif files have the
transaction identifier in the file name, so it's easy for my iSeries process
to associate the signature capture fles with a specific transaction.

Let me know if you would like more information.
