How to Connect to Mainframe from VB6.0
Hi friends,
I need to connect to mainframe system from VB application and then I have to call a CICS transaction by providing some input values to the transaction.
Then the CICS transaction will provide the output values. I have to fetch those output values.
I am not supposed to directly fetch the data from Mainframe DB2 database.
Any idea how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sumit Ghose

First thing you need to find out is your access method. Some people access server systems through TelNet or something similar, although I am in no way a knowledgeable person in this :-)
Speak with the people who want you to do the accessing...ask them what method the access is to be done through...then come to us and ask how :-)

Do they use a Terminal Emulator program to connect to the DB2 db? If so then most TE's have scripting and/or DDE support and the newer ones have VBA support too.
