    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 :-)
    Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)

    If I have helped you, RATE ME! :-)

    I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!

    And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

    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.
