Re: IBM 390 call to iSeries

[Eduard Sluis <eduard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

 

I can't help and had a lot of difficulty to get the appropiate documentation (they are from before teh 80's) and no eagerness whatever to try to understand what was needed.

But when your nops nops product has to connect to a US banking system on a 390 using the existing LU0 (Yea LU0) communication interface that they use to communicate to PC based DOS clients. Count your options and be happy that you can make it work.

 

Kind regards,

Eduard Sluis.
