AS/400 is going to have an integrated Windows NT server on a card and share
resources.

QUESTION:

An NT application needs to pass online information to the AS/400 and get a
reply. The mechanism on the NT side will be a flat sequential file. Is there
a way to expose NT flat files to an RPG program on the AS/400 side and have
the AS/400 write similar files that will be placed into the NT directiry?

FLOW:

Data arrives into the NT and the NT app writes one record into a flate file.

ASAP, the AS/400 will see the file (how ????) Open it, Read the Data, and
Close it.

Next, the AS/400 will within 20 seconds, Open a file, Write a record or two,
Close the File, and have it copied into the NT files system. I'm not if its
possible to do this. To actually do something like a Remote Procedure Call
to the NT files system from AS/400, or if you just copy files across.

Any ideas?
