Re: Socket Server Application Approach

"I* hadn't thought about an external stored procedure, and I'm not sure how
it would be called from asp.net if the procedure resides on the i - but
even so that's really much different than my server instance is it?"*

That might be a good idea. Simple to call stored procedure from VB or C#
program. Just an SQL call and no complexity of sockets. Just an RPG/ILE
program registered as a stored procedure.
