Have a look at Mitem http://www.mitem.com/solutions/default.asp
It's been years since I looked at their stuff-- but they specialize in interfaceware-- software solutions that allow incompatible systems to communicate and exchange data. I am sure its come a long way, but in the mid-80's they had a software program running on a PC or Mac that interfaced legacy apps on an IBM mainframe running CICS & DL/I by appearing as a very fast & unlimited storage 3270 terminal. No changes were required to the mainframe or software. Now, this interface software was programmable at a high level (similar to RPG) and at a low level. The interface program could talk to any of the software (databases, spreadsheets, etc) available on the PC & Macs. And/or, it could talk other mainframes running other unmodified mainframe systems. I had a 16 plus year background at IBM, specializing in mainframe database & data communication and migration from DOS to MVS. I was blown away when I saw this software running on a Mac, interfacing multiple mainframes and passing data between them. This was before the web, web services, XML, etc. Dick On Sep 28, 2005, at 3:49 PM, Maloy wrote: > I have a basic question: Is there any way to run Cold Fusion on > mainframe > like MVS or OS/390 operating system. > if not, is there a way in which these can interact even when > Coldfusion runs > on a Windows or Unix server? > > Please let me know. > TIA > Maloy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:219541 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
