ASNA visual RPG (AVR) can do this quite easily with no direct exposure of
the AS400. AVR Com+ modules that you write are executed by IIS using active
server pages, communicate with the AS400 in a very straight-forward manner
and write the data to the response queue. Check out www.asna.com for
tutorials and a 30-day free home trial.
