As I understand it, there are three ways to tackle AS400 apps with Delphi.
1. A Delphi app running on NT which connects to a DB2 database on an AS400
(without the ability to execute stored procedures). This is merely a BDE
SQL*Links driver.
2. Same as above, but with the ability to execute stored procedures. I'm
not sure how the specifics of this work.
3. Deplhi400, which compiles an application specifically to be executed on
an AS/400. This is, as far as I know, a whole different flavour of Delphi.
We're currently exploring option #1 above.
Recently (say, four or five months ago) there was a Delphi Informant
article about it. I believe it was the cover story, but I can't seem to
find it now. Back in May 1998 there was an informant article on executing
AS400 applications using TQuery instead of an RPC or FTP.
And that's about all I know. Have you checked the Borland website? Last I
looked the details were sketchy.
Cheers.

Where do I find out information about Delphi/400 and the AS400 platform?
