Wow - I haven’t seen one of those things in a long time. When they came out I 
was using 4D v1.0.6.

It’s going to depend on what’s running on it. If it’s been upgraded over the 
years (and even has an IP stack on it), it may be running web apps and 
(assuming they have developers) you may be able to do REST calls. Maybe.

Most likely it’s running DB2, which means ODBC at best.

If you can’t get in via ODBC and you have to do some sort of file transfer, be 
aware that the AS/400 uses EBCDIC. You’ll be better off just dropping the 
client.

Kidding.
