Guys, I have a requirement from one of our suppliers to access their AS400 to upload delivery document details into an AS400 mainframe.
Currently a VPN is used with an emulator (it looks like it is Tun Plus they use aor a b*stardised verion of it which an operator simply keys data into 24x80 standard DOS like screen application. What I want to do to avoid this rekeying is to pipe the information into the program from our VFP application, thus emulating operator input. Has anyone out there done this before and if so what approach did they use. I know I could in effect write a VFP terminal emulator and I have a load of possible solutions flying around in my head, but wondered if anyone knwe of an emulator you can interface with from VFP or if there was an all VFP solution. The link to the AS400 is via a VPN. Thanks in anticipation.
