Building AS/400 Client Server Applications: Put ODBC and Client Access APIs to Work

by Michael Otey

Explains to software developers how to design client/server systems using the midrange IBM computer technology AS/400, and produce the type of graphic user interface that people now expect and increasingly cannot function without. Includes the complete source code for several working applications to demonstrate the nuts and bolts of development, and working utilities that can be put to use in an environment immediately. Among them are a Windows application that periodically checks and displays the status of an AS/400 communications lines, another Windows application that obtains and displays performance data, and an ODBC benchmark application. Includes examples of both 16- bit and 32-bit programs. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
