Since the discussion has shifted to external tools, I would be remiss if I
didn't mention that this is a perfect application for mv.NET.  If you're
going to purchase UV/NET note that it only does one function,  whereas
mv.NET is a library to do many functions and cross-platform compatible too.

A ReadU can be done on both sides just like from BASIC, and the native
locks on the servers will be used.  The function can be triggered from U2
using a simple call (easily written for the purpose):
  CALL MVTRANSFER(FNAME,ID,REMOTEHOST,OPTIONS,RESULTS)
In fact if just a few companies wanted mv.NET just for this purpose I'd
write that code for free.  The same code can be used for transfers between
any MV environments, not just UV/UV or U2/U2.  Moving data between MV and
relational databases can be done the same way - no more BCI.

To be fair, Jason mentioned UniObjects in his opening note for this thread,
and for this simple application I don't see why that can't be used - for
free too.  mv.NET has the built-in ability to perform operations based on
triggers from the MV server, but that can be written for UO too.  No ODBC
is required for any of these tools.

Contact me for details on any of this, or other communications needs.
