There would be many customers, and often these customers would be coming through at the same time. How would one configure the iSeries connectivity for such an application? We are at V4R3. The orders would come from a PC package that transmits the data to other platforms. >> CLICK here to view Tim's response: http://www.search400.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid520225_tax285217,00.html __________________________________________________________________ ****************** SPONSORED BY SkyView Partners ***************** as-sess-ment \a-'ses-ment\ n. 1: the act or instance of assessing or appraisal.
