We will be getting two kinds of request.
1.  We will get a customer po number and I will try and send back all
order line items that are for the CPO there could be several POs that
have line items that have to be sent back.

2.  We will get a CPO number and a Customer PO date from that I will
need to update all orders for that CPO number with the new date.

What kind of information do you want the 390 to get from the 400?  Is it
static files or some kind of on-demand request?

Sorry for vagueness. I am using the following APIs to get info from the
390

URLData='http://www.ducksystem.com:99/cgibin/www.cgi';
URLData = %Trim(URLData) + '?tp=IS&pg=CBW282E&kp=';
URLData = %Trim(URLData) + %Trim(EventKey);
rc = http_url_get_raw(%trim(URLData)
                : 10
                : %paddr('INCOMING'));
If retlen > 1;
    CallP Translate(retlen: retdata: 'QTCPEBC');
EndIF;


C  Eval      rc = http_url_get(
C            'http://www.ducksystem.com:99/cgibin/'+
C            'www.cgi?tp=IS&pg=CBW284E&ex='+
C            %Trim(RdKey):
C            '/DUCFiles/Chapter.txt')

I am also using IFS APIs to open, read, close the chapter.txt file.

The CBW___E programs are written in NATURAL on the 390. I know enough
NATURAL to be extremely dangerous.

Hi Jere,

I'm absolutely lost.  How are you making requests from the 400 to the
390?
Do you want to do the same thing in reverse?  In other words, have the
390
make requests the same way back to the 400?

Can you tell us what you're doing now.  You refer to "these APIs" but
you
didn't say which APIs you're referring to...
