What sorts of problems? I've always wondered about this. Joe: I probably only need to mention a major obvious one... Scanning on a PC requires that the object be scanned in the PC's memory. I.e., the object will traverse the network in order to be scanned. An awful lot of AS/400s have a single NIC, and network bandwidth might be an issue especially for those who are economically forced to do it this way. If the volume is small or sufficient off-hours time exists, probably no big deal. For this issue, the inclusion of the network component is where things get tricky to balance. For my 170 at home with a 10Mbps adapter? It's no problem, not yet; I don't have much outside of QSYS.LIB. If I get up past 10GB or so that I want to scan, I'm gonna be hurtin'. That's just a simple physical issue.
