The iSeries and AS/400 Programmer's Guide to Cool Things

This book reveals how to give a new face to iSeries and AS/400 applications by offering a suite of techniques to use with green-screen programs: Query Manager/400, advanced display DDS functions, user-defined ILE functions, and Advanced Function Printing. Tools are provided that give PC client applications and interfaces more function and usability with ADO, OLE DB, and FTP. Possibilities are explored for using iSeries or AS/400 to develop web pages, implement e-mail, and use ActiveX Data Objects to develop applications in Visual Basic.
