FWIW, if you didn't want to pull the information down, a quick and cheap
(short-term) solution could be to schedule the different jobs to
regularly push it to servers/PCs via FTP or Samba.

Okay, it seems like my week for asking questions *sigh*

Has anyone done any work with enabling a cobol program to act as a
listening
process on the 3000 to handle requests from a VB application?

I have a program that our support people can run to gather statistical
information about the applications, but they have to logon to each
machine
to run it.  Now that we have grown from 2 3000s to 5 (and more to
follow) it
makes more sense to organize this information somehow and provide a
convenient way to access it, so I thought of a listener process that
can
run.  Then the support people just fire up a client and get the
information
they want.
