Connect Direct eh? I had to do an interface with this onto i5. It wasn't fun, and it wasn't pretty. All I can remember is that we needed folders for the files to be sent/received, and the geeks in commsland had to set up some connectivity. We eventually found a really really helpful and knowedgeable IBM bloke who hand held a couple of transmissions to prove the systems were connecting before we got into the gore of the actaul data interpretation. Sorry I can't recall much more about it - that was then, and this is now. General comms stuff applies. Take small steps. Expend lots of energy on establishing the connection reliably before you worry about the data. Ensure plenty of diagnostics and restart for troubleshooting / operators, and build in some metrics on times and turnrounds / number of records etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have made certain changes in the script and was able to move ahead, but have got stuck with some other error now.
