James -

I have a V5R1 system at home which is exposed to the internet and has the
S/36 environment installed. Send me a private message and I'll give you the
external IP and a user id/password.

A couple of questions about S/36 files, prompted by a potential new
customer whose whole native system is apparently set up around them:

First, while I've occasionally futzed around with totally flat,
non-keyed files, and while I've used program-described mode to
circumvent level-check problems on externally-described files that
change regularly, but in a manner that's under our control, I don't have
a lot of experience with actual S-36 files. Am I correct in my
understanding that an S-36 file can be both flat and keyed at the same
time? Is there a convenient way to create a file indistinguishable from
an S-36 file on a V4 or V6 box that doesn't have any S-36 emulation
installed?

Second, can SQL access an S-36 file? Is it difficult?
