AS/400

[Vinay Sajip]

I agree with all the other posts - and if screen scraping is what you
need to do, fair enough. ODBC has already been mentioned, but it's
sometimes a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I've had good
experience with an alternative approach (similar to JTOpen) - I've
used a product called DataGate/400, from ASNA - http://www.asna.com/ -
which is low cost and provides fine-grained read/write access to
AS/400 resources. It does require software to be installed on the
AS/400, but it's low cost and quite effective. I wrote my own COM
wrapper around it for use under Windows, but I believe their product
range now includes a COM component.

Best of luck,
