Or write your own socket-based applications. All logic running on the HP,
less data traffic on your network. Although this approach is better for GUI
applications than for reports I guess. On the other hand we publish reports
on our intranet server that ran on the HP and were transfered to the server
with Reflection commands in a Cobol file transfer program.

Pat.



Use ODBC!

This is what we do especially to have reports on the PC.

Subject:  Making IMAGE data available to PCs




Scenario:
Existing IMAGE based application.  Other users want to access the same data
from a number of desktop utilities.  It has been suggested to periodically
extract the IMAGE data to flat files, transfer them to a 'data warehouse'
machine and let the users 'go at it'.
Any suggestions where, perhaps, the data stay in IMAGE and are still
available to the users or where the transfer occurs dynamically as changes
are made to the IMAGE bases system, would be welcomed.
Regards
Paul
