VB Code (Emulator) for Ms Excel & AS400

    Re: VB Code (Emulator) for Ms Excel & AS400


    I used the below connecting strings for Excel & Mainframe to update the information in mainframe that earlier I used to do manually.


    Dim autECLPSObj As Object
    Dim autECLConnList As Object


    Set autECLPSObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLPS")
    Set autECLConnList = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLConnList")


    autECLConnList.Refresh
    autECLPSObj.SetConnectionByHandle (autECLConnList(1).Handle)



    Is it possible to do the same thing with excel & AS400?


    If yes, then plz help me

    I think what you are asking about is directly related to communication with the AS400. Although someone here may have knowledge of that, it is somewhat beyond the scope of this forum. You would be better off looking at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/…ks/html/host_access08.htm which has information directly related to this kind of communiction problem.

    You need a workstation profile file (.WS) for the AS400 (or, start it manually). Once the terminal session is running, you can use PCOMMS to link to it and use the PCOMM commands as you have described.

    Suggest, perhaps, that you start the session manually and then

    Code
    autECLPSObj.SetConnectionByName("A")

    , but substitute "A" with whatever is the session letter of the session you started. Then you can test the PCOMMs objects.
